Research Best Practices

The table below contains a sample of some practices I believe to be helpful for research. I try to only include those that are not obvious (though I tend to think fewer things are "obvious" than most).

Practice Origin
Manually inspect data Jason Wei
Do straightforward/traditional analysis of data before building models Parker Seegmiller
Use AI tools to help you find relevant papers Me
Find good "source node" papers and do a DFS from there with "cited by" Me
