I am building a discussion platform for research papers for a specific repository. Currently, the repository has around 17000 papers and around 1000 is added each year.
Here are the requirements that led to this:
- I would like to have more than one topic being opened for a paper. Because each topic has a different “topic” of discussion or a question around the same paper. Hence, I need a category for each paper but I have read that using tags is a better option if there are many of them.
- A topic can span more than one paper (e.g. if there is a question or discussion concerning two papers at the same time).
I couldn’t find any other way of accomplishing this via Discourse other than tags. I would be very happy to learn if there is a more elegant way.
