Literature Tracker

Quality score: 70/100 · Category: Science & Research · Sub-category: science-misc

Tracks every paper, study, dataset, and source that has been shared, recommended, or discussed across research email threads — building a structured reading list with context on why each was surfaced and what action is expected. Use when a researcher wants to consolidate the literature and sources scattered across email without losing track of anything. Triggers on "papers shared in email", "literature from email", "what have people sent me to read", "research reading list", "track papers discussed", "consolidate research sources".
