Advanced Techniques
Level up your research with multi-round iteration, citation tiers, contradiction analysis, visual synthesis, and living reviews
Five Advanced Techniques for Research Excellence
These techniques represent the frontier of AI-assisted research. Each one takes the foundational workflow and extends it with specialized methods for handling complexity, uncertainty, and continuous learning.
When to Use Advanced Techniques
Not every research project requires these methods. Use them selectively based on your goals.
Multi-round iteration works best when initial findings surprise you or when you're exploring an emerging field where the important questions aren't yet obvious.
Citation tiers matter most for formal academic writing where credibility is paramount, less so for internal reports or exploratory learning.
Contradiction analysis is essential when your field has active debates or when policy decisions hinge on which conflicting finding is more credible.
Visual synthesis shines with complex systems, multi-stakeholder problems, or when you need to communicate findings to non-technical audiences.
Living reviews make sense for core areas of ongoing interest, not for one-off projects.
Choose the techniques that match your research context, and don't hesitate to combine them when a project demands it.
