Looking at this, it immediately reminded me of Emacs org-mode. The ability to manage agenda and notes and link Them all together. In fact, org-mode is often used for research as well

At one point, Roam supported importing org-mode files (my team actually asked them to implement it back in spring of 2018). The product vision has changed a lot since then and I'm not sure if they still support it, but if there's interest I wouldn't be surprised if they brought it back.

You can import any plain text or markdown file into Roam -- we take the indentation structure and parse it out.

Can also copy/paste in any html

Would build a special emacs importer if there was strong need -- but emacs export is so powerful you can also just export org-files into a format that Roam accepts already
