Research involves managing hundreds of papers, articles, references, and resources. Browser bookmarks and folders can't handle this complexity.

Common research organization problems:
❌ Papers saved without proper context
❌ No system for tracking citations
❌ Hard to organize by topic or project
❌ Can't find that perfect reference when writing
❌ Resources spread across devices and tools

This guide shows how researchers can organize their resources properly.
