One Literature Note synthesizes one Source. It should be understandable without reopening the source while remaining traceable to exact Excerpts.

Source argument

Summarize the author's central argument and relevant reasoning in your own words.

Evidence map

Connect the exact Excerpts that support this note. Do not place unlocated quotations only in the page body.

Researcher synthesis

Explain what the source contributes to the project, how it connects to other research, and where you agree, disagree, or remain uncertain.

Assessment

Record evidence quality, source limitations, and open questions. Separate the author's position from your interpretation.

Completion checklist

Exactly one canonical Source is related.
Every consequential assertion is backed by one or more Excerpts.
Core Summary is complete.
Author Argument and Researcher Synthesis are distinct.
Limitations and open questions are recorded.
Candidate durable ideas have been promoted to Zettels.
Note Status is Complete only after this checklist passes.
