As both an academic and a pastor, this would be invaluable. In this proposed feature, it would be nice to be able to select citation style and even add custom citation styles (some seminaries use their own spin off of Turabian and SBL).0

@Gregory Aumann Zotero integration would nullify my comment below asking for citation abilities and custom citation styles. I'll second your remark!!0

As a Ph.D. student, this would be fantastic.0

Would be very!! welcome.0

1. Ability to export paper to other word processors (Word, Docs, etc.). This is necessary for colllaborative projects and file type requirements.
2. Ability to export to cloud. This
could mean Dropbox, GDrive, etc. or a Logos based cloud or all of the above. This is necessary (A) to back up files and (B) keep local drives lightweight.
3. Auto save.0 -
Call it Document Builder or Doc Builder.0

The capability to write academic papers/articles within Logos would be a great feature. Multiple writing/citation styles is a must (APA, Turabian, etc.).0

While I think it is really important for Logos to improve it's knowledge management abilities (a la Citavi, with structured notes and clippings, ideally even with PDF import, better bibliography support, etc.), I also think it would be a big mistake to try to replace Microsoft Word, Scrivener, or other word processors, as some of the proposals in this thread suggest. Programs like Citavi are great for research in part precisely because they don't try to replace your word processor. Instead, they integrate into programs like Work, and support your work there. That is, we need to be able to do our research in Logos, and we need that research and investigation to be easy to organize and to find. But I don't expect or want to ever do actual writing of a paper in the Logos. It's not even to me essential that the integration with the word processor be present. I could happily continue using Citavi or Zotero for pure footnote and bibliography management in Word and move my research over from Citavi to Verbum, if I could organize my notes and clippings in a useful fashion in Verbum as I read texts in the software. As that is currently not possible, I actually export the texts I will study from Verbum to a PDF, then import them into Citavi, and study them there, taking notes and clippings in Citavi simply because I can organize those notes and clippings.0

As one who is writing a lot of papers at the moment through a combination of logos, word, and zotero, this would certainly simplify things, especially when I don’t have 3 monitors available to work!0

This is absolutely needed0

Yes please, including Turabian support for bibliography, footnotes, formatting, title page etc.0

Just a few more options such as richer paragraph formatting, footers, tables, folder organizing in docs, would make this a fantastic feature.0

Very much support this idea0

Please add this feature0

Adding my support to this, as a current theological student a customisable builder for exegetical/theological/history essays would be a wonderful addition.
In particular I would advocate for the ability to create essay structure/outlines. Logos could be an excellent place to do your research and visualize your essay plan, as well as allocate your ideas and research to various fields (for/against , body one , body two etc).Current MDiv student at Trinity Theological College - Perth, Western Australia

I think opening some sort of bibliographic api would solve most research writing needs so we could create a plugin for zotero or similar citation software that lets us more easily cite or link our notes.
Additionally, I'd love to see the paper builder integrate logos' canvas tool so you could more easily integrate diagramed sentences and take more visually focused notes about how different resources relate to each other.0 -
Very much support this suggestion!0
-
Great idea!0
-
This would definitely be helpful. I need to use a citation manager to keep track of all my research. It would be great if that capability was in Logos.0
-
Yes, yes, yes please get this added to logos. This would be such a beneficial tool for all of us who are in seminary and those who are writing articles for journals and more. Please make this happen.0
-
This would be so helpful0
-
Yes please. This would be huge. This is what I’ve been needing. The note function is close0
-
All for it. Sounds like a good and helpful innovation.0
-
I primarily use Logos for academic work. This would be a game-changer. Please do add!!!!0
-
Yes!0
-
I am in favor of this idea. YES!!! I suggested this on the Logos forum before L10 was released.0
-
This would be so helpful!0

@Donovan Palmer I agree with this, and would add that it would really help if Logos could make it similar to the rising number of thinking apps out there: Roam, Notion, Obsidian. . .
Having front and backlinks, etc. . .0
