Research Paper
Run a full research project: sharpen your question, build a tagged source library, synthesize themes, and draft with a citation map.
Template Blueprint & Architecture
Every branch in this blueprint is expandable into its own sub-canvas, connected through bi-directional [[wiki-links]].
Research Paper: [Topic]
●Research Question
The precise question, its scope, and the hypotheses that will guide the [[Source Library]] search.
●Source Library
Papers, data, and experts, each tagged and summarized for the [[Synthesis]] stage.
●Synthesis
Cluster sources into themes, identify conflicts, and build the argument that becomes the [[Draft & Citations]].
●Draft & Citations
Outline, write, and cite — every claim traceable back to the [[Source Library]].
Why Use the Fractal Method for Research Paper?
No Visual Clutter
Instead of a tangled spiderweb canvas, sub-topics nest into infinite clean sub-canvases you can enter and exit with 1 click.
Cross-Linked Knowledge
Connect any thought or character to any other branch using [[wiki-links]] across all hierarchy levels.
Local & Private
Everything stays stored in your browser's IndexedDB. Export to Markdown, JSON, or image at any time.
