Write research paper notes/summaries in emacs
First things first, install pdf-tools, a great Emacs package for viewing pdfs. The default pdf viewer Docview is very limited so you should definitely get this package.

What different before you were using emacs?
nov.el is pretty nice, although pdf-tools makes PDFs tolerable.

pdf-tools got a new maintainer!
It looks enjoy pdf-tools got a new maintainer and he already changed the the melpa ⠀recipe, so you can get it via the package manager. I think this is a good development. My impression is, that he is new as an Emacs package maintainer, so please be kind and supportive, so he will stay on it for a while. :)

(global-linum-mode 1) causing issues with pdf viewing
I tried setting (add-hook 'pdf-view-mode-hook (lambda() (linum-mode -1))), which I found here. But it doesn't seem to do anything.

Disable embedded code execution in pdfs?
doc-view.el aside, there's https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools which may have its own set of issues.

Write research paper notes/summaries in emacs
This on its own is a great system for writing such notes. However, it is very lacking in searchability. If you want the notes, you need to go find them. To solve this, you first need a package to manage your bibliography in Emacs. These function with a .bib file that I assume you already can obtain through Mendeley. To my knowledge, there are two great packages for this, citar and bibtex-completion (which is actually two packages ivy-bibtex and helm-bibtex). Depending on the completion framework you are using (Ivy, Helm or Vertico/Selectrum) you can use one of these. These packages read from a bibliography file and make your life so much easier in finding the research paper you are looking for. They also have another neat feature. They allow you to create notes for your bibtex entries with ready customisable templates. This makes this whole process so much easier as you can find a paper you want to read, create a note for it with one of these packages and then link it to its pdf with org-noter. This way you have a fully-fledged research workflow inside Emacs.

org-ref/bibtex-completion/ivy-bibtex entries are not displayed if keyphrases do not fall into the display field
I have a question regarding org-ref, bibtex-completion and ivy-bibtex respectively. I have org-ref set up as suggested by John Kitchin on his github page. This is some of the relevant code, i guess.

New package consult-bibtex
no multiple selection (ivy has it, but not ivy-bibtex, see https://github.com/tmalsburg/helm-bibtex/issues/308)

Consult equivalent for ivy-bibtex?
There is already a completing-read implementation of helm-bibtex/ivy-bibtex in the works which is supposed to be used with Selectrum/Icomplete/Consult etc. See https://github.com/tmalsburg/helm-bibtex/pull/361 and https://github.com/tmalsburg/helm-bibtex/pull/355. Maybe you can collaborate with /u/bdarcus?

completing-read: displaying using one string, but searching on another?
This got me pointed in the right direction. I just need to now write the helper function to grab that extended metadata.

Long-Time Emacs User Looking to Level-Up (note-taking for classes)
I also second the suggestion of another poster on counsel, swiper, ivy, etc. (I love this suite and the various add-ons). I'd add ivy-bibtex.
