Research & Documentation
Enables comprehensive research workflows: search for information across your Notion workspace, fetch and analyze relevant pages, synthesize findings, and create well-structured documentation.
Quick Start
When asked to research and document a topic:
- Search for relevant content: Use
Notion:notion-searchto find pages - Fetch detailed information: Use
Notion:notion-fetchto read full page content - Synthesize findings: Analyze and combine information from multiple sources
- Create structured output: Use
Notion:notion-create-pagesto write documentation
Research Workflow
Step 1: Search for relevant information
Use Notion:notion-search with the research topic
Filter by teamspace if scope is known
Review search results to identify most relevant pages
Step 2: Fetch page content
Use Notion:notion-fetch for each relevant page URL
Collect content from all relevant sources
Note key findings, quotes, and data points
Step 3: Synthesize findings
Analyze the collected information:
- Identify key themes and patterns
- Connect related concepts across sources
- Note gaps or conflicting information
- Organize findings logically
Step 4: Create structured documentation
Use the appropriate documentation template (see reference/format-selection-guide.md) to structure output:
- Clear title and executive summary
- Well-organized sections with headings
- Citations linking back to source pages
- Actionable conclusions or next steps
Output Formats
Choose the appropriate format based on request:
Research Summary: See reference/research-summary-format.md Comprehensive Report: See reference/comprehensive-report-format.md Quick Brief: See reference/quick-brief-format.md
Best Practices
- Cast a wide net first: Start with broad searches, then narrow down
- Cite sources: Always link back to source pages using mentions
- Verify recency: Check page last-edited dates for current information
- Cross-reference: Validate findings across multiple sources
- Structure clearly: Use headings, bullets, and formatting for readability
Page Placement
By default, create research documents as standalone pages. If the user specifies:
- A parent page → use
page_idparent - A database → fetch the database first, then use appropriate
data_source_id - A teamspace → create in that context
Advanced Features
Search filtering: See reference/advanced-search.md Citation styles: See reference/citations.md
Common Issues
"No results found": Try broader search terms or different teamspaces "Too many results": Add filters or search within specific pages "Can't access page": User may lack permissions, ask them to verify access
Examples

- examples/market-research.md - Researching market trends
