Emacs and knowledge management for scientists
For describing my workflow very briefly (not as well as Sonke Ahrens in the aforementioned book, but I will try), I try to follow the main points of Zettelkasten. Whenever you learn something, take notes about it. Make the notes brief, but very descriptive. Give it a large title describing everything contained in it so you can find it easier later. If its too large, split it into multiple files, so the note is atomic (meaning it can no longer be separated into multiple files). If you don't have time to write a note correctly, make a fleeting note about it to remind you and write it later. Densely link your notes with one another. Thinking about the connections between notes is sometimes half the work of writing it. This way, I never lose information. If I need something later down the line, I can always search with org-roam-node-find, as I use very descriptive titles as I mentioned. If not, there is also grep, which if you are not aware is a text editing utility that allows for searching all your notes. There are many grep tools in Emacs (i.e. counsel-rg being the one I use personally). For more explanation, you can check my literate org-mode config.

Write research paper notes/summaries in emacs
There is definitely a way to do this in Citar which should be mentioned in the wiki if you read through it (and if there is not the author of the package is very helpful in general) but I do not know what that is. This way, when you select a bibtex entry it will automatically create a note with the title being the title of the article, automatically associate the entry with its pdf and ready org-noter for use to annotate it. Its a very streamlined and automated way to work with this system of packages that I highly recommend. For more info on this, you can also look at my literate config for notetaking which naturally has a lot as I take tons of notes. Link to it is here.

How do you take university notes with org-mode?
For more info on my workflow, you can check my config over on github. This part is specific to my org roam, references and general note taking workflow, so you won't have to look for the relevant parts. Its a literate config and I explain some things more than I do here. If this all interests you I suggest giving it a check. I also couldn't recommend Ahrens' book more. Its an incredible read for academics of every science as its really applicable everywhere imo.

Any way to get a "start button"?
Also if something is not clear here you can check out my full i3 config over on github.

Packages that you would like to be in emacs core ?
TempEl could definitely replace tempo.el and even skeleton.el, but IMO the most unobtrusive and valuable addition will be orderless as a build in completion style.

org-capture template containing conditional logic based on value read from prompt
I combine org capture templates with the tempel package which is a great templating package.

How to develop a menu of phrases?
I would like to second this; writing snippets in this syntax is very easy. There's a new package for this as well: https://github.com/minad/tempel

TempEL: use named field as default, but be able to change it locally
I've created an issue for this.

Tempel error using tempel in doom emacs
I used the use-package configuration from: https://github.com/minad/tempel.

Like company-org-block, but for completion-at-point, corfu, and friends…
Regarding template integration, I was also wondering what org-block-capf/company offers on top. Maybe you can implement some special interactions? I use Tempel with templates like the following configured for org-mode:
-
New package: tempel-collection
A collection of templates for TempEl template engine. The collection is not so big as yasnippet-snippets just because I use a limited set of modes, but pull requests are always welcome. It is available on Melpa.

tempel-collections - tempel templates collection for different modes
Big thanks for beautiful template package TempEl

Emacs's native templating and snippet fuctionality
Thanks! There's also tempel, which uses the tempo syntax, and so can benefit directly from this library.

Please tell me about the different approaches to text expansion you can find in emacs.
I know exactly what I want, but it's such a chore to type out. A good example might be org-mode src blocks. Here I reach for a template-style abbrev/snippet package. Small plug for tempel, which reimagines tempo. Some modern lsp servers even include smart template expansion with "fields" you can hop around between (ya-snippet is good at this). There are lots of "libraries" of useful expansion templates for various modes for many of these tools.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Dotfiles and tempel you can also consider the following projects:
menutray - An application menu through a GTK+ tray status icon.
emacs-native-snippets - a collection for snippets that use emac's built in templating utilities
org-noter - Emacs document annotator, using Org-mode
numpydoc.el - Insert NumPy style docstrings in Python functions.
