The modern workplace has undergone a dramatic transformation in the last few years, weathering a global pandemic, widespread talent shortages, and the emergence of game-changing technologies. Amid all this change, today’s workers are shouldering more responsibility and larger workloads than ever—and struggling to find enough hours in the day to accomplish everything on their to-do lists.
Just like time, research is a precious resource for professionals in nearly every industry. Yet compiling, analyzing, and reporting research findings can also be a cumbersome task. The typical process of collecting research is often a tangled web of articles, notes, sources, and more. Relying on homegrown collection and tracking methods—like copying, pasting, and linking article snippets into a Microsoft Word doc, or saving page upon page of bookmarks for future reference—only complicates the process further. This chaos increases the odds you’ll lose valuable information, waste time, or fail to capture the right insights.
A centralized research hub not only streamlines your data, but also makes it easy to discern valuable insights—while also automating time-consuming tasks, like storing metadata, citing quotations, or keeping track of sources. That’s where web clipper Collect and Draft from Nexis+ AI™ comes in.
Collect and Draft streamlines and simplifies the research workflow, speeding up the process of finding and organizing information so you can spend more time uncovering critical insights. Here’s how you can transform your disorganized research into actionable insights.
Think about it. How much time do you spend copying and pasting quotes, organizing data, or doing other mindless tasks that sap your energy and take time from the strategic work you want to be doing? What could you do with an extra hour (or two) in your workday?
Using Collect and Draft gives you that time back. The tool handles the mindless, time-consuming tasks of manually copying and pasting snippets and source information so that you can focus on the research results themselves.
The process is simple: Use the Collect and Draft Nexis+ AI Chrome Extension to find and save information from a variety of Nexis® products and across the web, along with corresponding links, important metadata, and any personal annotations you want to add. You can even organize your findings into your custom collections, so finding your saved “snippets” is quick and easy. From there, you can quickly access and add your findings within Microsoft Word for fast and simple report creation.

Gathering data is only part of the challenge. Once you have that data collected, you need to decide what it means. And flipping back and forth between many tabs or documents means that important trends can easily get missed. That isn’t a problem when you can organize all your data in one spot.
Since Collect and Draft collects and organizes all your research in a single location (one that’s backed up on the cloud, keeping findings secure), you’ll have a holistic view of your data. This makes it easier to notice trends, identify key insights, and prioritize what information to highlight in your reports—and deliver critical, meaningful recommendations to your business and stakeholders.
