Zotero Plugin Recommendation 2026

A practical research method guide for researchers who need to compare tools, workflows, evidence checks, and next steps.

Before using this in research

The goal is not to adopt another tool. The goal is to reduce verified research time without weakening the evidence trail.

Best for

Researchers who need a practical decision page before investing time, data, or writing effort.

First step

Start with one concrete research task, compare the output against original sources, and keep the decision trail visible.

1Define the research question, source boundary, and acceptable evidence standard.

Agent2Research

Practical AI tool intelligence, research workflows, and method guides for medical and academic researchers.

Use the page to shortlist tools or methods for one small research task.

3Verify important claims against papers, datasets, official documentation, or reproducible records.

4Record what worked, what failed, and where manual expert review is still required.

Do not treat fluent AI output as verified academic evidence.
Check source traceability, privacy boundaries, export formats, and citation risks.
Avoid expanding a tool stack before the core research workflow is stable.

Can the result be traced back to papers, data, or official documentation?
Can another researcher understand and repeat the decision trail?
Are limitations, assumptions, and source gaps visible before publication or submission?
