Catch up on new papers without losing the source material.

Gather recently published research on selected topics, check that each paper is new to the reading list, and prepare a short summary with subject labels. Keep the paper link beside each entry so readers can inspect the original before citing or sharing a finding.

The handoff

A dated reading list of new papers with concise summaries, categories, and links to the original publications.

Keep in mind

A summary may omit methods, limitations, or important qualifications, and a subject label does not validate a paper’s claims. Check the original publication and its date before citing or sharing results. Keep research notes within the intended team and audience.

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Set access and sharing expectations

Choose who may view the reading list and how source links or notes may be shared.
