The Monday literature scan, run for you
A short list of last week’s papers that actually bear on your questions, each with its abstract, its link, and one line on why it cleared the bar. The keyword noise is already gone.
Monday morning, the scan is done. Papers sorted against the research questions you stated, abstracts and links attached, everything that only matched a keyword discarded.
Run by hand that is a weekly crawl across Scholar alerts, two preprint servers, five journal tables of contents and whatever a co-author forwarded. A companion runs the crawl in your logged-in session, across Scholar, the preprint servers and the journal sites your library access covers, on Mac and Windows. Reading, methods and authorship stay yours.
What does a weekly literature scan return?
You describe your questions the way you would brief a new PhD student: the phenomena, the methods you care about, the groups whose output matters.
The Monday routine sweeps the sources, discards the keyword-matched noise, and returns probably-relevant papers with abstracts, links, and one line on why each cleared the bar. The craft is web research automation pointed at the literature.
Get the related-work table as a checkable draft
The revision asks you to position against eleven papers, which means a table: method, sample, findings, limitations, one row each.
A companion drafts it into Google Sheets from the papers you point it at, with links back to each source so every cell is checkable. It is an assistant’s first pass, delivered without waiting for an assistant.
Grant calls flagged early enough to write
A routine watches the funders you name and flags calls matching your area with deadlines attached, far enough ahead to actually write.
The same companion handles the paperwork orbit around them, assembling the pieces your existing documents already answer, in your session, for your review.
What do integrity rules mean for any of this?
Everything here is a research artifact: scans, tables, digests.
A companion assembling your literature scan is a different act from a companion writing your paper, which is the line journal and funder disclosure rules are drawn around.
Every row in a table links back to its source, so you cite the paper rather than the summary. Manuscripts under review stay outside the workflow, as their confidentiality requires. Where data goes is documented on the security page.
