Plan before you collect
Most research fails because the question was vague. AI is excellent at forcing question precision.
A six-step research plan
- 1
State the question and the decision it informs
- 2
Ask AI to list every prior study or method relevant to it
- 3
Draft a methods section; have AI play a peer reviewer
- 4
Pre-register predictions before collecting data
- 5
Use AI to draft analysis scripts, then verify outputs by hand
- 6
Write up with AI as editor, not author
