🔬 What happens before a research paper is published?

Research doesn’t start with publication.

Question → Hypothesis → Method → Data → Analysis → Findings → Publication

Every stage helps turn an idea into evidence.

Which stage has the biggest impact on research quality?
August 17, 2026 at 12:43 PM
Quality research starts with critical questions. 🔍
Critical appraisal helps researchers assess a study’s methodology, data collection, analysis, strengths and limitations—supporting findings that are valid, robust and credible.

🤖 Will AI replace literature searching?

Probably not — but it will change how we search.

AI can summarise research quickly, but trusted evidence, databases and expert judgement remain essential.

The future is AI + human expertise.

How has AI changed your search workflow?

Most of what’s in our food is still a mystery.
Research suggests that many nutritionally and culturally important foods are missing from major food composition databases, and that most biomolecules in our diets aren’t captured in datasets.
