FAQPage Schema
How do I curate and validate sources for a literature review?

To curate sources for a literature review, provide a topic or URL list to trigger a six-step workflow that validates documentary sources, applies explicit credibility criteria, and outputs a structured evidence catalog.

What is the best way to gather evidence from URLs for exploratory research?

Gathering evidence from URLs involves a staged human-in-the-loop process that collects documentary sources, performs representativeness checks with an equity lens, and formats them into a machine-readable output for evidence synthesis.

Can I use this source curation workflow for policy and social impact research?

Yes, you can use this source curation workflow for policy and social impact research, as it is specifically designed to gather and validate documentary sources across governance, policy, and social impact domains.

How does the equity lens work during source validation?

The equity lens works by enforcing representational gap analysis and equity considerations during the staged human-in-the-loop checks, ensuring the validated source catalog addresses representativeness across collected documentary sources.

What output format should I expect from an evidence-gathering workflow?

You should expect a machine-readable output format from the evidence-gathering workflow, structured as a ready-to-hand-off evidence catalog that includes validated sources and representativeness checks for the evidence-synthesis module.
