How to use Notes & Knowledge Graph
Link ideas and papers into one navigable vault
A markdown research vault with wiki links, backlinks, tags and a live link graph, plus literature notes generated from the papers already in your library.
Before you start
- • A signed-in SciExpert account
Steps
- 1
Open Notes & Knowledge Graph
From the workspace sidebar choose Notes & Knowledge Graph. On a phone, open the All menu and tap Notes & Knowledge Graph.
- 2
Set up your inputs
A markdown research vault with wiki links, backlinks, tags and a live link graph, plus literature notes generated from the papers already in your library. Start with the smallest realistic input so you can check the output before scaling up.
- 3
Run it
Run the tool and check the first output: markdown notes with [[wiki links]], #tags and folders.
- 4
Review what came back
Work through the results: backlinks panel and an interactive knowledge graph; one-click literature notes from any saved paper; export a single note or the whole vault as markdown.
- 5
Save or export
Save the configuration as a preset if you will repeat it, and export the output when you need it outside SciExpert. Your inputs persist across refreshes and sign-ins.
Tips
- • Start with a small input, verify the output, then scale up.
- • Save a preset once the configuration works so you can reuse it across papers.
Troubleshooting
Nothing happens when I run it
Check that every required field is filled and that your plan includes this service — locked services show a padlock in the sidebar.
The output is not what I expected
Reduce the input to a single item, confirm the result is correct, then add the rest back gradually.
