TiberiumA note taking app for research that scales with the project
Research notes are the kind of writing that pays off over years, not weeks. A research note you can find again in three years is worth a hundred you wrote and lost. Tiberium is built around making your research findable — one source per note, clear titles, and full-text search that always works.
One source, one note
The cleanest pattern: each source gets its own note. Title with author, year, and a short title. Citation at the top. Pulled quotes with page numbers. Your own commentary at the bottom. Tag with the topic.
Synthesis notes
Once you have a dozen source notes on a topic, write a synthesis: what do they collectively say, where do they disagree, what is still missing. The synthesis becomes the input to your actual writing.
Search as the index
Forget elaborate folder schemes. Tags plus search is enough. Search by author, by topic, by quote — Tiberium's live search makes the library navigable without ceremony.
Long-term reference
The best research notes are the ones you read again years later and find still useful. Write for that version of yourself.

Does Tiberium support citation formats?
Citations are stored as plain text. You can format them in any style you prefer.
Can I import PDFs?
PDFs are not stored directly. The pattern is to keep the source file in your reference manager and the notes in Tiberium.
Will the notes still be searchable in five years?
Yes — that is exactly the point. Plain text plus full-text search ages well.
Is it good for literature reviews?
Yes — the one-source-per-note pattern is ideal for lit reviews.
