A dynamic research system and associated methods are disclosed for assisting an at least one user with dynamically and automatically researching an at least one subject across a plurality of data sources. In at least one embodiment, upon a new instance of a browser application being opened on the user device, a navigation display is overlaid onto a user interface of the browser application. Additionally, for each of the at least one data source, upon determining that an at least one page of said data source contains data related to the at least one subject, a graphical element associated with said at least one page of said data source is generated and displayed in the navigation display. Upon the user selecting a one of the at least one graphical element in the navigation display, the browser application navigates to the at least one page of the data source associated with the selected graphical element, and the navigation display is overlaid onto the user interface of the browser application once again, thereby simulating a persistent navigation display across multiple pages, though all within a single instance of the browser application.
