Design a knowledge base for a research or thesis project. Field and project type: [FIELD_AND_PROJECT]. Length and deadlines: [LENGTH_AND_DEADLINES]. Tools (reference manager, notes app, writing software): [TOOLS]. The research questions: [RESEARCH_QUESTIONS]. Team (alone or collaborators): [TEAM].

Return:
1. Structure: folders and databases for sources, literature notes, concept notes, data, drafts, figures, meeting notes, and tasks; a text tree.
2. Source tracking: fields (citation key, authors, year, type, status, relevance, quality notes, methods, findings, limitations) and a literature matrix template comparing sources by theme.
3. Note types: literature notes (one per source), concept notes (my synthesis), question notes (open problems), and argument notes (claims with evidence); templates for each.
4. Linking: how to connect claims to evidence and sources; a map of content for each research question.
5. Writing integration: how notes feed chapters; an outline note per chapter with links to supporting notes; a process for citation handling with the reference manager.
6. Data and version control: naming conventions, backups, a changelog, and data management plan basics.
7. Routine: weekly literature review, monthly synthesis, and milestone planning backward from deadlines.
8. Collaboration rules if applicable (permissions, comment practices).

Add ethical and privacy cautions for participant data (store securely, anonymize, follow ethics approvals). Include a start-up checklist for the first week.
