Customizing Your Protocol
After generating a protocol with Quikest’s AI, you have the flexibility to customize it to meet your specific research needs. Customization is key to refining the details and ensuring your protocol aligns with the unique requirements of your study.
Here’s how to effectively customize your protocol in Quikest:
1. Review & Edit Generated Content
Once your protocol is generated, carefully review each section. You can edit the text to refine the details, adjust formatting, and make sure the language aligns with your research standards. For best practices on protocol writing, check out Writing Effective Research Protocols.
2. Reorganize Sections
Quikest provides a structured outline for each protocol type, but you can easily rearrange sections as needed. Use the drag-and-drop functionality to reorganize sections or add new ones to include additional information relevant to your study.
3. Add Custom Notes & Annotations
In each section, you have the option to insert notes, annotations, or special instructions. This is especially helpful for communicating specific details or providing context for collaborators. Learn more about collaboration in Real-Time Collaboration.
4. Insert References & Citations
Ensure that your protocol is well-documented by adding relevant references and citations. This can include scientific papers, guidelines, or other sources of information. You can explore the Adding References & Notes page for a detailed guide on this feature.
5. Apply AI-Driven Improvements
Use Quikest’s Highlight & Improve feature to refine specific sections. Highlight the text you want to improve, and the AI will provide suggestions to enhance clarity, consistency, and language quality. For more tips, visit Optimizing AI Suggestions.
6. Save & Share Your Protocol
After customizing your protocol, save it to your workspace. If you’re working with a team, share the updated version and invite them to review or provide input. You can also manage permissions to control who can edit or view the document.
Pro Tip:
Always keep the primary research goals and study design in mind when customizing your protocol. Focus on enhancing the clarity and thoroughness of your methods to ensure reproducibility and compliance with research standards.
By following these steps, you can effectively customize AI-generated protocols to meet your specific study requirements and maintain consistency across your research projects.
