Research article summary checklist

A useful research summary is not a shorter abstract copy. Capture claim → evidence → limitation so you can cite responsibly.

1. State the research question

One sentence. If you cannot find it, the paper may be opinion or a survey — note that.

2. Separate methods from findings

ArticleSumm Pro’s focus modes help you ask for methods vs key findings explicitly.

3. Keep limitations visible

Sample size, confounding, and scope bounds belong in the summary if the paper states them.

4. Cite the source, not the summarizer

In academic work, cite the paper. Treat AI output as a reading aid (Google’s helpful-content guidance favors people-first, original value — not unreviewed AI dumps).
