Research Paper Reading Workflow

The complete system for reading, analyzing, and extracting insights from academic papers using NotebookLM. 30 prompts across 6 stages — from 5-minute triage to multi-paper synthesis.

Upload one paper or twenty. The first three categories work on a single paper; the synthesis category requires multiple sources. Start with Rapid Triage to decide whether a paper deserves deeper engagement, then move to Deep Analysis and Critical Evaluation for papers that do.

Tip: Replace bracketed text — [my research question], [concept], [topic] — with your specifics before copying each prompt.

Rapid Triage — 5 Prompts

1 prompt
"Give me a 3-sentence summary of this paper's core claim, the evidence used to support it, and the main limitation. Tell me in the last sentence whether this paper is essential, supplementary, or background reading for [my research question]."
