Research desk

Read the method before the headline.

Discover primary research and consider its sample, method, uncertainty and relevance to your actual application.

01

Start with metadata

Find the title, authors, publisher, DOI, date and access conditions before using a paper.

02

Read the question

What construction, geography and system boundary were studied? Could the finding answer your question?

03

Keep limits visible

An abstract cannot replace the full method. Record missing scope and avoid turning one sample into a universal claim.

04

Respect the rights

Metadata discovery is not permission to republish papers, figures or protected text. Link to originals and write scoped original analysis.
