Research often alternates between judgment and repetition. The useful boundary comes after a person has chosen the sources and the repeated collection path is fixed.
Separate judgment from mechanics
Automate the mechanical navigation and filing steps, while keeping source evaluation, interpretation, and citation decisions human.
Record the collection path
MacroLoop can open prepared URLs, copy a defined public field, paste into a structured note, and move to the next item. Label every source and test with a small list.
Preserve research integrity
Respect access terms, copyright, privacy, and rate limits. A macro cannot determine whether a source is credible or current.
THE TAKEAWAY
Use automation to move information, not to decide what deserves trust.
