SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables researchers to run a focused consensus search, synthesize findings into a verified evidence summary with APA citations, and offer to save it to the project's knowledge base.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Focused consensus search: retrieves key papers and abstracts for a specific question.
  • Evidence synthesis: builds an evidence map and narrative with APA citations.
  • Save to knowledge base: optionally saves the insight and integrates with the argument map.
  • Data integrity and verification: ensures statements are traceable to abstracts and highlights gaps or contradictions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a literature review with APA citations from a single question?

To generate a literature review with APA citations, provide a single research question to run a focused consensus search that retrieves key papers, synthesizes findings, and formats references automatically.

What is evidence synthesis and how does it handle contradictions in abstracts?

Evidence synthesis builds a narrative from retrieved abstracts while ensuring data integrity by verifying statements and explicitly highlighting any gaps or contradictions found in the source literature.

Can I save my evidence mapping results directly to a project knowledge base?

Yes, you can save evidence mapping results directly to a project knowledge base using an optional save workflow that stores the generated insight and integrates it with the argument map.

What is the best way to ensure statements in my research summary are traceable?

The best way to ensure traceable statements is using a verification mechanism that cross-references your evidence synthesis directly against retrieved abstracts before saving the insight.

Do I need a specific search tool to perform a focused consensus search?

Yes, performing a focused consensus search requires an integrated consensus search component to retrieve papers and abstracts before generating the verified evidence synthesis.

When should I not use a focused consensus search for my research?

You should not use a focused consensus search for multi-part or complex inquiries, as it is specifically designed for single-question requests where quick, cited insights are needed.
