Research Notes are an Item exclusive to Don't Starve Together, introduced in From Beyond. When studying it, a page in the Scrapbook written by Grainy Transmission is added. Different Research Notes adds to Scrapbook as different items.

Notes of "Day 56" spawns along with the first set of Abandoned Junk structures a player encounters. When studying it, a page in the Scrapbook written by Wagstaff is added, listing all Mobs suspected to be viable hosts for the Incursive Gestalts.

Notes of "Day 89", "Day 195", "Day 226", "Day 354", "Day 418" will be dropped from Grainy Transmission after giving him Phasmo-Encapsulators with gestalts during W.A.R.B.O.T. Quest after the player places all 76 Substrate Extrapolators.

Day	Notes
56	"Day 56 - Lunar Mutations Study" "It seems as though these strange entities that emerged from the rifts are in search of living hosts... or perhaps once living. "NOTE: The following creatures warrant immediate study as I suspect they may be the most viable as hosts:" *Frog *Pengull *Varg *Koalefant *Deerclops "Other possible Rift entity host candidates:" *Grass Gekko *Hound *Bearger *Mosling
89	"Day 89 - Material Study" "Thulecite appears sufficient to contain lunar entities. Structural integrity holds under moderate strain. Further testing advised."
195	"Day 195 - Energy" "Eureka. Lunar forms radiate boundless energy. Containable. Obedient, even? Control may be possible. Endless applications... if stability holds."
226	"Day 226 - Containment Measures" "Area of containment necessary prior to experimentation. Consider implementing a kinetic and teleportational dampening field?"
354	"Day 354 - Heat Signature Detection" "Preliminary thermal tracking functional. However, response irregularities suggest vulnerability to rudimentary interference - false positives observed with minimal thermal masking."
418	"Day 418 - Electrifying!" "Interesting. Can redirect controlled electric discharge for practical (and offensive) applications. Truly remarkable potential. Note to self: don appropriate insulative layers next time. That last zap was... unexpectedly exhilarating."
