ADVOCACY RESEARCH · Workflow idea
For an authorized campaign or research question, gather relevant public sources, extract useful passages, and consult an advocacy-focused reference collection. Respect site terms and access limits, keep personal information out of research notes unless essential, distinguish source evidence from generated interpretation, and have a researcher verify citations and claims before using the brief in public communications or decisions.
01 / The starting point
A defined topic and research purpose approved by the organization
“Prepare a source-linked research brief without overstating findings or collecting unnecessary personal data.”
02 / The work
Helps animal advocacy teams find public information and relevant domain references for campaign research.
Record the purpose, topic boundaries, and sources appropriate to the inquiry.
Prefer primary, recent sources and keep their dates and links attached.
Retain surrounding passages and note when a page is unavailable or incomplete.
Identify disagreement, missing evidence, and interpretations that need expert review.
Have a researcher verify citations, factual accuracy, and intended use.
03 / The result
A concise brief with source references, evidence notes, and researcher review status.
Research & strategy · Example outcome
A concise brief with source references, evidence notes, and researcher review status.
Search results and extracted pages can be incomplete, outdated, or misleading. Follow source terms, retain enough context to verify each finding, separate fact from interpretation, avoid profiling people, and require a researcher to validate important claims before action.
04 / Make it yours
A few choices shape the work around your team.
Define what may be researched and exclude restricted or irrelevant material.
Use only sources and collection methods permitted for the stated purpose.
Limit access and retention, especially for unpublished campaign planning.
Assign an owner to confirm citations and resolve uncertainty before use.
