RESEARCH REVIEW · Workflow idea

Find a timely angle without copying a source or mistaking a headline for the full story.

For work involving selected current articles, feed items, and proposed podcast discussion topics, check the facts and permissions before taking the next step. Prepare topic suggestions with source links for a podcast editor or host to evaluate. Feeds can be incomplete, stale, or copyrighted, and a topic summary may misstate the reporting. Respect access and reuse terms, verify facts in original sources, preserve attribution, protect unpublished plans, and require an editor to approve topics and any public claims.

Keep in mind

Feeds can be incomplete, stale, or copyrighted, and a topic summary may misstate the reporting. Respect access and reuse terms, verify facts in original sources, preserve attribution, protect unpublished plans, and require an editor to approve topics and any public claims.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Record source scope and retrieval dates

Keep the question, source links, access conditions, and review period traceable.

Set citation and verification expectations

Require direct checks for material claims and keep uncertainty visible.

Limit private information and reuse

Restrict research notes and honor participant, source, and rights-holder requirements.

Require expert review of conclusions

Do not present a forecast, ranking, or interpretation as established fact without review.

Keep exploring

Review technical site health audits

Track site health over time without treating an audit score as the whole story. Check the evidence, protect relevant information, and keep consequential choices with an accountable person.
