View source for Tips for Extracting Protocols into the UPICT Template

Mark-up a copy of your original document as you do the extraction.
* When you copy a chunk of text from your original, highlight it
* When you are "finished" extraction, you can check the un-highlighted text to see if you have missed migrating anything important


Consider extracting several related protocols in parallel.
* Take a single UPICT Template document and simultaneously extract several similar protocols into it putting material from different source protocols in different colors
* Then compare each of the different source paragraphs and use that to draft a consensus paragraph
* Once the text is stable, create copies of the document, each with just one of the source protocols
* The result is a UPICT document for each protocol and a UPICT document for the consensus protocol
* This approach allows you to batch process, to easily see the areas of agreement and divergence, and focuses consensus discussion on one issue at a time
