Research synthesis workflow
Copy this checklist and track your progress:
Research Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Read all source documents
- [ ] Step 2: Identify key themes
- [ ] Step 3: Cross-reference claims
- [ ] Step 4: Create structured summary
- [ ] Step 5: Verify citations
Step 1: Read all source documents
Review each document in the sources/ directory. Note the main arguments and supporting evidence.
Step 2: Identify key themes
Look for patterns across sources. What themes appear repeatedly? Where do sources agree or disagree?
Step 3: Cross-reference claims
For each major claim, verify it appears in the source material. Note which source supports each point.
Step 4: Create structured summary
Organize findings by theme. Include: - Main claim - Supporting evidence from sources - Conflicting viewpoints (if any)
Step 5: Verify citations
Check that every claim references the correct source document. If citations are incomplete, return to Step 3.
