Compose a New Paper Idea

Fill the essentials, save to the dashboard preview, then persist via CLI or YAML when ready.

Auto-generated from the short title (or title) until you edit it manually.

Target journals (up to 3, in ranked order)

Human judgement required: run npx @researchhq/cli suggest-journals for publisher-neutral OpenAlex + bibliography matches, then verify scope, editorial board fit, and Read-and-Publish OA coverage (AI journal selection guide).

Persist to Repository (YAML & CLI)

Live preview: run the CLI command from the private research repository root, or paste the YAML entry into data/planned-papers.yaml (append it under the plannedPapers list). Both update as you type.

CLI command 
npx @researchhq/cli add-idea --slug 'untitled-idea' --title 'Untitled paper idea' --short-title 'Untitled paper idea' --category literature-gap --status idea --readiness 5 --submission-quarter '2027-Q1' --publication-year 2028 --open-science-stage 5 --summary 'Untitled paper idea: idea captured in the ResearchHQ dashboard and awaiting scoping.'
