RESEARCH REVIEW · Workflow idea

Shape a focused search without hiding relevant evidence or collecting beyond the intended scope.

For a team with an authorized purpose, prepare and test a set of source-selection rules for a researcher to inspect against a defined question. Search coverage is incomplete and filters can systematically omit viewpoints or expose sensitive searches. Document scope and assumptions, respect access and reuse rules, test for missed source categories, protect query history, and require a researcher to approve the final criteria and any resulting public conclusions. Explain personal-data use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under explicit human approval.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A defined purpose, authorized source material, and an accountable reviewer

“Prepare a defined research question, selected public sources, and proposed search inclusion or exclusion rules from permitted information for a person to review before any external or consequential action.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

4 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Prepare and test a set of source-selection rules for a researcher to inspect against a defined question.

  1. Set a narrow question and permitted sources

    Define scope and dates, and respect access, collection, and reuse conditions.

  2. Check claims against original evidence

    Open primary references and preserve links, retrieval dates, and relevant context.

  3. Show gaps and uncertainty

    Separate observations from estimates and flag incomplete or conflicting evidence.

  4. Approve findings before circulation

    Have a responsible researcher verify evidence, interpretation, and intended use.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A private a defined research question, selected public sources, and proposed search inclusion or exclusion rules review draft with source checks, uncertainty notes, and human approval status.

The handoff

A private a defined research question, selected public sources, and proposed search inclusion or exclusion rules review draft with source checks, uncertainty notes, and human approval status.

Keep in mind

Search coverage is incomplete and filters can systematically omit viewpoints or expose sensitive searches. Document scope and assumptions, respect access and reuse rules, test for missed source categories, protect query history, and require a researcher to approve the final criteria and any resulting public conclusions.

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 standards

Require direct checks for material claims and keep uncertainty visible.

Protect people and source material

Limit identifiers and honor participant, source, and rights-holder requirements.

Require human review of conclusions

Do not present forecasts, rankings, or interpretations as established facts without accountable review.
