For all us paperwork maniacs out there. A place to share, improve and talk about our dedicated paperwork.
This thread is for any paperwork you do in-game. Such as sharing papers you've written in the game and paperwork templates. But also for getting inspiration and providing writing feedback.
Here's some of my own work. (I use the W-Y logo in most of my papers because my character is a former W-Y researcher according to her background. The CL is also the most likely person to care outside of medbay, and they'll appreciate it)
Templates
(These are now available on the wiki!)
Research Journal Template Image
A simple all-purpose formula to document research
Research Report Template Image
Used for more in-depth documentation than the journal
Research Interview Template Image
Used to document research interviews
Research Experiment Proposal Image
Used to get authorization for experiments. Alternatively, you could include an authorization signature in any of the other templates.
Research Experiment Template Image
Used to document research experiments
Research Volunteer Template Image
Extended version of the experiment template for when an experiment requires a human volunteer. Alternatively, the results section could be left out and written on a different paper instead
Guides

- Page 4 - Drugs Image
- Page 5 - Toxins and harmful chemicals Image
- Page 6 - Miscellaneous Chemicals Image
Multipage document that's a sorted list of every chemical in the game, and includes their properties and some flavor text for each one. It is at the same time a collection of experiments done together with Harry Granite and Ferdinand Braun to nerd out each chemical. All the information in this was discovered using only in-game research through a week's worth of experiments.
Uncommon Overdoses Image
A paper on the results of a week's worth of in-game experiments to find the overdose properties of each chemical. This laid the foundation to the Chem Encyclopedia
Blood Restoration Image
Research to test how blood restoration is affected by different supplements. Conclusion: Sugar is worthless. Just make pure iron pills.

Paper about the "Joy" pills that Alice is addicted to
Regarding Hyperzine Overdoses Image
Research on the effect of hyperzine overdoses
Hyperzine and Inaprovaline Image
Research from where I tested how inaprovaline interacts with hyperzine
Food Gas Image

Survivor interview with Carson Perkins Image
The first interview I ever made as a researcher. Written back in early summer 2018. It was after this that I made my interview template
