As a doctoral student, however, research management is a fundamental part of your overall methodology and it should be a well-planned process. Long-term research requires a good approach to documentation, otherwise you risk getting lost among your many surveyed papers, carried experiments, and results. This approach should be systematic, accessible (mainly to you), low-effort, and a natural part of your daily workflow - it should be there to help you, and not the other way around. In this article, we describe how we relied on a wiki to organize literature, datasets, experiments and results, and we also show how such a systematic approach can lead to better insights through automated meta-analysis. In addition to this content, we provide a docker-based installation of a preconfigured wiki, with the required templates and extensions, along with some examples pages, as well as a Jupyter notebook to analyze your documented work. So read on.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.01849v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.01849v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"managing-research-the-wiki-way-a-systematic","repo_url":"https://github.com/jldevezas/research-wiki","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
