How to Set Up SciSpace for a Research Team: 3-Minute Quick Start
TL;DR
1-min readSet up SciSpace for a research team with one small, repeatable task rather than a platform-wide rollout. Agree on a shared project structure, prompt template, deliverable, reviewer, and evidence standard; test the workflow on a sample; resolve disagreements; and only then scale it across the team.
How to do it
Choose one pilot task such as literature screening, evidence extraction, or paper reading.
Choose one repeatable pilot task with a clear input, output, and turnaround time. Avoid beginning with a broad goal such as 'use AI across the research team.'
Agree on a project structure and a standard prompt template.
Agree on a shared project structure, naming convention, prompt template, allowed sources, and deliverable format. Store the template where every participant uses the same version.
Assign an owner to verify sources, methodology, and final deliverables.
Assign an owner for source verification, methodological decisions, and final sign-off. Define when a result must be escalated to a domain expert rather than accepted by the workflow.
Document what worked and convert it into a reusable team workflow.
Record pilot errors, revisions, time saved, and review effort. Convert the process into a reusable team standard only after two or more runs produce consistent, auditable results.
