ScholarSecondBrain is a private workspace for scholars. Hold the work you have published, the material still taking shape, and the questions that connect them.
Illustrative only—but shaped like real scholarly memory: published work, drafts still taking shape, and private notes. Ask a question and get answers that open your sources.
Journal of Educational Leadership · peer-reviewed
Argues that belonging is built in small, repeated leader moves—not mission statements—drawing on interviews with 18 principals.
Working material · private
Chapter outline connecting moral distress, teacher leaders, and the same belonging language from earlier studies—still unfinished.
Transcript excerpts · private
Coded notes from interviews on isolation, decision load, and what made staff feel held during crisis years.
2022 · published
Belonging is not a poster on the wall. Principals who sustained staff through hard seasons named concrete practices: checking in before directives, protecting planning time, and making room for dissent without penalty.
2025 · draft
If moral distress is the cost of leading through crisis, belonging is one of the few antidotes leaders control day to day—the same check-ins, protected time, and permission for dissent that earlier interviews already documented.
Illustrative only. Same throughline across a published article and a later draft—so you stop retyping what you already argued well.
Cited chat over your admitted catalog
Ask: What have I already said about belonging?
Your 2022 article frames belonging as repeated leader moves (check-ins, protected planning time, room for dissent). Your 2025 chapter draft reuses that frame under moral distress. Three interview notes (2021–2023) supply the logistics examples—covering a class, rearranging schedules—that back both pieces. Full texts stay private unless you choose otherwise.
Published pieces, drafts, notes, and claims connect around your research and your goals. Find what you already uncovered before you open a blank page.
Live preview: you at the center, with published work, drafts, and notes branching out.
01
Begin with the work that is already yours: Google Scholar or ORCID, then a BibTeX or CSV file.
02
Add the drafts, notes, transcripts, and missing full texts that only you can supply.
03
Use cited chat only over material you have admitted into your private Markdown catalog.
Private by default. Full texts and Working Material stay private unless you choose otherwise.
Grounded on purpose. Cited chat draws from admitted material, with source cards back to your own corpus.
Your work stays yours. Private catalog content is not training fuel for public foundation models without a separate explicit opt-in.
Exit is real. Markdown export and deletion are part of the product.
$100 / year
Start free. Then $100 a year.
No monthly plan. Seed your catalog, admit what matters, and ask with sources from your own writing.
ScholarSecondBrain is the personal tool. GrantMemory is the institutional product for research centers and nonprofit grant teams—shared library, seats, and cited answers over admitted grant history.
