Literature review, citation context, research synthesis, paper drafting, replication checks, and evidence packets for academic and technical teams.
- Live page: https://agentskillexchange.com/industry-skills/#education-research-workflows
- Homepage access: Curated Collections on https://agentskillexchange.com/
- Researchers, academic labs, research analysts, and science or technical writing teams turning scattered sources into reviewable research artifacts.
- Knowledge workers doing literature review, citation review, paper drafting, replication checks, and synthesis with explicit human judgment.
- Search personal, academic, and web research sources before drafting.
- Extract citation context, paper metadata, and dense PDF text into usable artifacts.
- Turn research questions into reviewable outlines, drafts, and replication plans.
- Package findings into diagrams, archived sources, and human-reviewed research briefs.
- Literature review packet: Search library → query academic indexes → parse papers → extract citations → summarize evidence
- Draft paper workflow: Frame research idea → review related work → draft sections → check claims → prepare figures
- Replication and synthesis pass: Collect source artifacts → convert PDFs → run analysis workflow → review quality gates → archive evidence

- Prefer source-linked research artifacts over unsupported summary-only workflows.
- Keep citation, authorship, and scientific claims under human review, especially for publishable work.
- Include both academic search and document-conversion picks so the collection supports real research operations, not just paper discovery.
- Frame these as research workflow aids, not peer-review substitutes, authorship guarantees, or automated scientific claims.
