Research method guides
Practical workflows for safer AI-assisted research
Methods pages are designed for researchers who want operating steps, not generic advice. Each guide should clarify the first action, the evidence checks, and the point where human review is still required.
Literature discovery
Build search terms, compare AI and database search, then verify candidate papers.
Statistics and evidence
Check study design, data quality, effect sizes, uncertainty, and reporting before submission.
Writing and synthesis
Move from evidence tables to review structure, manuscript logic, and careful AI-assisted polishing.
Submission readiness
Prepare claims, figures, citations, disclosure notes, and reviewer-facing details.
Recommended starting guides
These guides match the highest-value research workflows: search, reading, statistics, writing, Zotero, and tool comparisons. Covered guides now open English decision pages; uncovered guides still point to current full detail pages.
