Emacs and knowledge management for scientists
In addition to org-roam, I would recommend checking out https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam-bibtex for attaching notes to specific papers that are indexed by an application like Zotero. Some good tutorials for it are here: https://rgoswami.me/posts/org-note-workflow/ and https://blog.jethro.dev/posts/how_to_take_smart_notes_org/ and https://emacsconf.org/2020/talks/17/ . Since current org-roam (post-v2) uses the normal org-mode "id" form, you can make any "headline" into an roam-registered node. You could then split your long derivations into different headlines, where the body of the headline or descriptive text could refer to prior nodes, but any latex is inserted using org latex blocks https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-LaTeX.html . You've maybe already considered this (and I wouldn't be surprised if local references were easier to do in straight latex), but org-roam-bibtex is really nice for interfacing with your citation system for other papers.

Starting my PhD and keeping my lab notebook in org-mode!
I think you should also look org-roam and org-roam-bibtex (I can't configure org-roam-bibtex properly because I'm on Windows).

Write research paper notes/summaries in emacs
Taking this one step further, if you use the excellent org-roam package (which if you don't you should definitely check it out, its great for note-taking), there is a package called org-roam-bibtex which communicates very well with the aforementioned packages. With it, you can create bibliographic notes as part of your org-roam repository from their bibtex entry and initialize the file to also include a link to the pdf from org-noter. Once you learn it, its a very powerful and streamlined workflow for working with articles which makes your life very easy. Its quite a bit of reading to do on your end on how to make all these work together, but trust me its worth it.

Errors when creating new node
Have you followed the discussion here: https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam-bibtex/issues/159
- Reminder: org-roam and org-roam-bibtex will be upgraded to V2 the next Friday or Saturday (depending of your time zone). This upgrade is incompatible with the current configurations. Don't forget to upgrade yours.

Question about the org-roam redesign
If you want to use it primarily for literature notes, maybe you should have a look at the current state of https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam-bibtex/tree/org-roam-v2 before deciding.

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.
