Learn how to use the Article Analyzer to accelerate your research process. By automatically extracting and synthesizing key information from dense reports and documents, you'll spend less time reading and more time innovating.
The Article Analyzer is a powerful feature within Narratize that helps users quickly extract key information from academic papers and research articles.
With the Article Analyzer, you can dig deep into a single article, or glean insights across multiple articles. Whichever way you use it, the Article Analyzer is designed to save time, enhance understanding, and accelerate your research and literature review processes.
1. Dig Deep into a Single Source
The Article Analyzer extracts key information from a dense PDF or document. These insights help you learn complex topics fast, better understand your industry, and empower you to make smart research and business decisions.
How it works:
- Navigate to the Article Analyzer in your Narratize dashboard.
- Upload your PDF, Word document, or text file.
- Click "Analyze".
- The tool will generate the following insights:
-
- Summary: A concise overview of the article's main points.
- Key Findings: Bullet points of the most significant results or discoveries.
- Simplify: A version of the content with more straightforward language.
- Impact Statement: The potential implications of the research.
- Situate: How the article fits into the broader research landscape.
- Method: A brief description of the research methodology.
- Context: Background information relevant to the study.
- Key Quotes: Important excerpts from the article.
- Gaps and Opportunities: Potential areas for further research.
Helpful Hints:
- Ensure your document is text-searchable for optimal results.
- Use high-quality, peer-reviewed articles for the most reliable insights.
- Review the generated insights and cross-reference with the original text as needed for accuracy.
2. Glean Insights Across Multiple Articles At Once
The Article Analyzer also allows you to search for, select, and analyze multiple articles simultaneously.
How it works:
- Navigate to the Article Analyzer in your Narratize dashboard.
- Click on "Multi-Source Analysis."
- Use the search function to find relevant articles. You can search across multiple databases including Semantic Scholar, arXiv, PubMed Central, and more.
- Select the articles you want to analyze (you can choose up to 10 at a time).
- Click "Analyze Selected Articles."
The tool will generate:
- An Evidence Table: This table compiles the same types of insights as the Single Source Analyzer (Summary, Key Findings, etc.) for each selected article.
- Key Insights Summary: This is a synthesized overview that draws insights from all analyzed articles. It includes:
- Common themes across the articles
- Conflicting findings or methodologies
- Gaps in the collective research
- Potential directions for future study
How to use the Evidence Table and Key Insights Summary:
- Review the Evidence Table to get a quick overview of each article, then dig deeper into each article by adding columns with additional insights.
- Use the Key Insights Summary to understand the broader landscape of your research topic.
- Identify areas of consensus and controversy in your field.
- Spot potential research opportunities based on identified gaps.
Tips for best use:
- Start with a focused search query to get the most relevant results.
- Select a diverse range of articles for a comprehensive overview.
- Use the Key Insights Summary as a starting point for further investigation or to inform research directions.
- Create evidence-based content by infusing these insights in other Narratize templates or external projects.
The Article Analyzer is a powerful tool for accelerating your research process. By automatically extracting and synthesizing key information, it allows you to spend less time reading and more time innovating.
