# Research & Documentation Enables comprehensive research workflows: search for information across your Notion workspace, fetch and analyze relevant pages, synthesize findings, and create well-structured documentation. ## Quick Start When asked to research and document a topic: 1. **Search for relevant content**: Use `Notion:notion-search` to find pages 2. **Fetch detailed information**: Use `Notion:notion-fetch` to read full page content 3. **Synthesize findings**: Analyze and combine information from multiple sources 4. **Create structured output**: Use `Notion:notion-create-pages` to write documentation ## Research Workflow ### Step 1: Search for relevant information ``` Use Notion:notion-search with the research topic Filter by teamspace if scope is known Review search results to identify most relevant pages ``` ### Step 2: Fetch page content ``` Use Notion:notion-fetch for each relevant page URL Collect content from all relevant sources Note key findings, quotes, and data points ``` ### Step 3: Synthesize findings Analyze the collected information: - Identify key themes and patterns - Connect related concepts across sources - Note gaps or conflicting information - Organize findings logically ### Step 4: Create structured documentation Use the appropriate documentation template (see [reference/format-selection-guide.md](reference/format-selection-guide.md)) to structure output: - Clear title and executive summary - Well-organized sections with headings - Citations linking back to source pages - Actionable conclusions or next steps ## Output Formats Choose the appropriate format based on request: **Research Summary**: See [reference/research-summary-format.md](reference/research-summary-format.md) **Comprehensive Report**: See [reference/comprehensive-report-format.md](reference/comprehensive-report-format.md) **Quick Brief**: See [reference/quick-brief-format.md](reference/quick-brief-format.md) ## Best Practices 1. **Cast a wide net first**: Start with broad searches, then narrow down 2. **Cite sources**: Always link back to source pages using mentions 3. **Verify recency**: Check page last-edited dates for current information 4. **Cross-reference**: Validate findings across multiple sources 5. **Structure clearly**: Use headings, bullets, and formatting for readability ## Page Placement By default, create research documents as standalone pages. If the user specifies: - A parent page → use `page_id` parent - A database → fetch the database first, then use appropriate `data_source_id` - A teamspace → create in that context ## Advanced Features **Search filtering**: See [reference/advanced-search.md](reference/advanced-search.md) **Citation styles**: See [reference/citations.md](reference/citations.md) ## Common Issues **"No results found"**: Try broader search terms or different teamspaces **"Too many results"**: Add filters or search within specific pages **"Can't access page"**: User may lack permissions, ask them to verify access ## Examples See [examples/](examples/) for complete workflow demonstrations: - [examples/market-research.md](examples/market-research.md) - Researching market trends - [examples/technical-investigation.md](examples/technical-investigation.md) - Technical deep-dive - [examples/competitor-analysis.md](examples/competitor-analysis.md) - Multi-source synthesis
