When I pick a paper to read, I add it to my @mendeley_com library (usually from @arxiv_org) and create a note for it by linking the citation key e.g. [[Lastname2019a]]
I then open the new note "Lastname2019a" and use @obsdmd 's template feature to populate the note with sections for notes (e.g. title, tags, topic, url, key contributions, references)
Since I am a novice, I have found it useful to embed my notes on Srinivasan Keshav's "How to read a paper" in my paper notes template (with ![[How to read a paper]] ) https://twitter.com/hardmaru/status/1209845521814175744?s=20
When I get to writing, I have an @obsdmd note for each major section (e.g. Methodology). I use ```code blocks``` as comments for lack of better option in Markdown.
To cite papers, I use the citation key notes mentioned above e.g. [[Lastname2019a]]. If there is no note for that citation key, that's ok. Obsidian is designed to work like that.
I liked @zettlr 's citation feature and I hope @obsdmd gets to it sometime soon 🙂

When a section is looking ok, I export to #LaTeX using the little script and paste it to my @overleaf document (MacOS "pbcopy" comes in handy). https://twitter.com/j___rs/status/1309389487567302656?s=20
Edit:
- 4x backticks for comment (````)
- 3x backticks for code block (```) https://twitter.com/j___rs/status/1309404404328443906?s=19
When rendering into LaTeX locally on my machine, I have a small script that runs my md-to-latex script as well as pdflatex and bibtex https://twitter.com/j___rs/status/1309404408749285377?s=20
The good thing about using Obsidian notes with citation keys as for a name reference handles is that they double up as my actual notes on a given source, making them readily available as I write about them https://twitter.com/j___rs/status/1309404405762908160?s=20
As for figures, I use the AltText in markdown for captions like so: ![This is the caption of the figure](figure-name.png)
The parser script uses the filename as the figure's \\label{} and the AltText as the \\caption{}
