research-setup

To configure Claude for academic research, you run an onboarding flow that establishes your specific research domain, preferred citation style, and writing-tool preferences like LaTeX or Markdown. This tailors Claude to enforce domain-specific guidelines for literature reviews and manuscript preparation.

Yes, you can safely set up academic writing workflows without losing existing configuration. The setup process detects an existing CLAUDE.md file and safely appends or creates new sections, preserving your prior settings while applying new domain and citation preferences.

The best way to align Claude with a research domain is to specify your field and writing-tool preferences during the onboarding flow. This generates domain-specific guidelines and scaffolding for your chosen format, whether Markdown, LaTeX, or Word.

Yes, the research workflow setup supports optional Graphify integration to index literature and support knowledge organization. This allows you to build a searchable knowledge graph from your reviewed papers and notes across disciplines.

Configuring Claude for academic research generates onboarding artifacts such as .gitignore updates and optional Graphify integration files. These artifacts scaffold your research workflow and maintain a clean project environment for manuscript preparation.

You need to specify a citation style for AI-assisted academic writing so Claude can consistently enforce the correct formatting across your manuscript and literature review. This prevents citation errors and aligns the generated text with your discipline's standards.
