01
Start with Literature Review
Create a card for each paper or source you need to review. Attach PDFs and add key findings as comments. Label sources as Primary, Secondary, or Review to prioritize your reading list.
// Research Project
From hypothesis to paper.
Manage every phase of your research project - literature review, methodology, data collection, analysis, and writing - on one visual board. Built for researchers who ship results, not just collect data.
Literature Review
3Read and annotate Smith et al. 2024 on transformer scaling laws

02
Design your methodology
Move to Methodology once you have enough background. Cards here capture experimental design decisions, variable definitions, and approval processes. Use checklists to track IRB requirements or ethics board criteria.
03
Track data collection progress
Each data collection task gets its own card with clear completion criteria. Use checklist items to track batches - "50 of 200 responses collected" - and update progress as data comes in.
04
Write up findings
Cards in Analysis and Writing track the final push. Assign paper sections to co-authors and set deadlines for drafts. The board keeps everyone aligned on who is writing what and when the submission deadline hits.
01 How does this template help manage a research project?
+
It mirrors the natural phases of research - literature review through writing. Each phase is a column, and every task within that phase is a card. You see the full project scope at a glance and know exactly what stage each piece of work is in.
02 Can multiple researchers collaborate on one board?
+
Yes. Assign cards to individual researchers so everyone knows their responsibilities. Flux updates in real time, so when a co-author finishes a literature review card, the entire team sees it move forward instantly.
03 How do I keep track of sources and references?
+
Attach PDFs, link URLs, and add citation details in card comments. Each card becomes a mini-reference file for that source or task. Flux's search lets you find any source across the entire board in seconds.
