FCC for Scientists and Researchers¶
Welcome to the FCC Agent Team Framework resources for the research community. FCC provides structured workflows for literature review, data management, reproducibility, and collaborative research.
Resources¶
- FAIR Workflow -- FAIR compliance workflow for research data
- Literature Review Agents -- Using RAG pipeline for automated literature review
- Reproducibility Guide -- Reproducibility with the Open Science module
- Research Methodology -- FCC as a research instrument
Why FCC for Research?¶
The FCC framework addresses common challenges in research workflows:
- Structured literature review: The RAG pipeline automates document ingestion, chunking, and semantic retrieval for literature surveys.
- FAIR compliance: Built-in support for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable data principles.
- Reproducibility: Deterministic simulation mode, trace recording, and event replay enable fully reproducible research pipelines.
- Collaboration: Human-in-the-loop sessions with scoring and approval gates formalize the peer review process.
- Knowledge graphs: Capture and query relationships between research concepts, methods, datasets, and findings.
Quick Start for Researchers¶
- Install FCC: GETTING_STARTED.md
