Telescopo for research and study

Keep questions, sources, evidence, equations, diagrams, and related notes close enough to follow the argument.

Research becomes useful when the path from question to evidence to conclusion remains visible—to your reader and to you.

From a research question to a brief worth reading.

Keep the question, source notes, and conclusion together as the work develops. A research brief gives the next reader a route through what you found.

  1. Start with the question

    Choose Research or Study in New Note. Set the purpose and sections, then record a source and what it contributes to the question.

  2. Connect the evidence

    Link the brief to reading notes. Use a table to compare findings, add an equation when precision matters, and put a diagram beside the relationship it explains.

  3. Read the argument as a whole

    Switch to Reader and use Navigator to move through the headings. Check the references, preview the pages, and export the brief as PDF.

Write the question before collecting material

A clear research question gives every source a job. Record what a source contributes, what it leaves unresolved, and which claim it supports or challenges.

Separate evidence from interpretation

Use quotations sparingly, summarize in your own words, and label your interpretation. Tables are useful for comparing methods, findings, dates, or competing explanations across several sources.

Keep mathematics and diagrams beside the reasoning

Place an equation near the definitions of its variables and explain what the result means. Put a Mermaid diagram beside the system, sequence, or relationship it clarifies. The surrounding prose should state the conclusion of the visual.

Connect the brief to its supporting work

Link the central document to reading notes, open questions, methods, datasets, and decisions. Backlinks show where a finding is already being used and where a changed conclusion may need review.

Review as a reader

Use Reader to inspect the argument without editing controls. Follow the outline, test long sections on the smallest intended screen, and preview the final PDF at its actual page size.

Bring your thinking into focus.

Start with one real note and follow it as far as it needs to go.
