RESEARCH REVIEW · Workflow idea

Build a useful reading list while checking each paper’s identity, relevance, and access rights.

Prepare a deduplicated, source-linked list of potentially relevant scholarly papers for a researcher to verify. Search results and title-based identifier matches can be wrong, and abstracts or full text may have reuse limits. Check citations and publication details against publisher or repository records, distinguish a search result from evidence, respect access and copyright, and require a researcher to approve citations or conclusions before circulation. Explain personal-data use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify material details, and require an accountable person to approve external or consequential action.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

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

“Prepare research questions, paper titles, authors, publication dates, abstracts, and identifier matches 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 a deduplicated, source-linked list of potentially relevant scholarly papers for a researcher to verify.

  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 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 research questions, paper titles, authors, publication dates, abstracts, and identifier matches review draft with source checks, uncertainty notes, and human approval status.

The handoff

A private research questions, paper titles, authors, publication dates, abstracts, and identifier matches review draft with source checks, uncertainty notes, and human approval status.

Keep in mind

Search results and title-based identifier matches can be wrong, and abstracts or full text may have reuse limits. Check citations and publication details against publisher or repository records, distinguish a search result from evidence, respect access and copyright, and require a researcher to approve citations or conclusions before circulation.

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 a forecast, ranking, or interpretation as established fact without review.
