Another option is to use a different keyword, for example "PROJECT", for
things that have sub-TODOs, e.g.

,----
| * PROJECT start writing paper
| ** TODO Collect data
| ** TODO add references
`----

For that to work you may want to put something like this at the top of
the file:

,----
| #+TODO: TODO(t) PROJECT(p) | DONE(d@) CANCELLED(c@)
`----

Finally, a third option is to add a TODO (or TOPLEVEL) *TAG* and do
something like this at the top:

,----
| #+TAGS: { TOPLEVEL(t) SUBTASK(t) } 
`----

Then, you can do

,----
| * TODO start writing paper             :TOPLEVEL:
| ** TODO Collect data                    :SUBTASK:
| ** TODO add references                  :SUBTASK:
`----

You can filter for :TOPLEVEL: or :SUBTASK: from the agenda view. Of
course, you don't need both and it may be easier to just add one or the
other.

Hope this helps!
