Understanding Publication Research

​

What Publication Research Can Do

1. Discover relevant literature related to specific data points in your tables
2. Extract key publication information including authors, journals, publication dates, and key findings
3. Analyze research trends to understand scientific developments and emerging areas
4. Identify key researchers and thought leaders in specific domains
5. Connect your data to the broader scientific landscape

How Publication Research Works

​

Setting Up Publication Research

1

Create or Select a Column

Start by identifying which column contains the data you want to research (e.g., drug names, disease names, gene targets, or research concepts). Either use an existing column or create a new one.

2

Create a Research Column

Create a new column where the publication research results will appear:

1. Click the ”+” button at the right end of your column headers
2. Choose a name for your column (e.g., “Publication Information”)
3. Select the Research column type and select “Publication Research” as the research type.

3

Configure Research Settings

Configure the column for publication research:

1. In the column editor, scroll to the “Research Configuration” section
2. Modify or utilize the refault publication search query.
3. From the “Research Type” dropdown, select “Publication Research”
4. Edit or utilize the default highlights and summary query. These provide the prompt to what the outputted publication highlights/summary should emphasize.
   Helpful Tip: Utilizing the ’@’ character within the search query allows you to utilize variables from other columns. For example, names of companies or people.
   

4

Save Your Configuration

Save your column configuration:

1. Click “Save” to save your column settings
2. Alternatively, select “Save & Run All” to immediately start research for all rows

Optimizing Publication Research Results

Tips for Better Publication Research

1. Be specific about publication types - Clearly specify what types of publications you’re interested in (e.g., clinical trials, review articles, basic research)
2. Include relevant scientific terms - Use precise scientific terminology that would appear in publications related to your area of interest
3. Specify date ranges - Indicate whether you want recent publications, historical publications, or a specific time period
4. Mention key journals or databases - Specify if you’re particularly interested in publications from high-impact journals or specific databases
5. Request specific metadata - Clearly state what publication information is most important (authors, methodologies, findings, etc.)
6. Use filtering criteria - Include parameters to filter results (e.g., only human studies, only Phase III trials, only positive findings)
7. Request specific organization - Indicate how you want results organized (chronologically, by impact, by research type, etc.)
