@shuomi3 is a very smart guy.I love his YouTube videos on note making, especially the one on Zettelkasten method for research. I have made a modified easy to understand modification of the same for doctors and medical researchers, read on...

The first step make small notes while reading a review article or a research paper in your own words. @shuomi3 calls this "Literature notes"

For example while reading a review article of "Hypophysitits" , I came across a great clinical pearl that if we have a male with hypophysititis, we have to consider IgG4 disease. Goes into my Roam notes.

The next step is called "Reference notes" . After you finish reading an article, list the DOI or PubMed id ad title of the article and write a brief summary of the key points that you learned from the article with the relevant key words.

The final step is Permanent note or "Evergreen notes". Connect what you have learned to a project, article or textbook chapter you are working on. Again, this has to be in your own words and connected to what you have learned from other article by other authors on the same topic.

In Summary, repeating the three steps
1. Step 1 - Literature notes
2. Step 2 - Reference notes
3. Step 3- Evergreen or permanent notes
