PUBLIC WEBSITE RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Turn selected public pages into organized material for research.

Choose a public website and a clear research question, then organize the requested details—such as quotations and their attributions—with links to the pages they came from. Keep the collection within an approved scope and have a researcher verify context, accuracy, and permitted use before relying on or sharing the results.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A public website and a bounded research question selected by an authorized person

“Prepare source-linked observations from approved public pages without treating extracted details as verified or complete.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps researchers collect selected details from public pages in a format that is easier to inspect and compare.

  1. Define the research question and public sources

    Choose the pages and information needed for a legitimate, clearly described research purpose.

  2. Approve the collection scope

    Have an authorized researcher confirm the exact sites, topics, and intended use before collecting page details.

  3. Organize selected page information

    Keep each requested detail together with its source page and enough surrounding context to interpret it.

  4. Verify details against their sources

    Check wording, attribution, completeness, and any uncertainty by reviewing the original public page.

  5. Approve use or sharing of findings

    Have a researcher confirm permissions, exact content, destination, and audience before publishing or changing an external record.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

An organized set of requested public-page details with source links, uncertainties, and reviewer notes.

The handoff

An organized set of requested public-page details with source links, uncertainties, and reviewer notes.

Keep in mind

Public visibility does not establish permission for every type of collection or reuse. Confirm the website, purpose, and scope before gathering information, stay within authorized public material, preserve source context, and have a person verify quotations, attribution, and permitted use before external publication or record changes.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Set approved websites and research purposes

List the public sources that may be reviewed and the legitimate questions they support.

Choose the information needed

Limit collection to relevant details and retain a source link and review date for each result.

Define source and reuse checks

Explain how researchers verify exact wording, attribution, completeness, and rights before relying on findings.

Assign a researcher and sharing approver

Name who verifies the collection and who approves its exact use, destination, and audience.
