AI Academic Paper Research Workflow

Help me conduct a systematic literature search on "[research topic]". Define: search terms and Boolean queries for [Google Scholar/PubMed/IEEE/arXiv], inclusion and exclusion criteria, date range: [years]. Find the 20 most relevant papers with: title, authors, year, journal, citation count, and a one-sentence summary of relevance. Organize by subtopic and identify the 5 most-cited foundational papers.

Analyze this academic paper and extract: [paste abstract or key sections]. I need: research question and hypothesis, methodology summary, key findings (with specific numbers/results), limitations acknowledged by authors, how this relates to my research on [your topic], and methodological strengths/weaknesses I should note. Rate relevance to my work: high/medium/low.

Synthesize findings across these papers: [paste summaries of 10-15 papers]. Identify: areas of consensus (what do most papers agree on?), contradictions (where do findings conflict and why?), methodological trends (common approaches and their limitations), evolution of thinking over time, and research gaps (questions no one has answered yet). Create a synthesis matrix comparing papers by key variables.

Based on this literature synthesis: [paste synthesis]. Help me identify: 3-5 specific research gaps that my work could address, for each gap: what's missing, why it matters, and feasibility of addressing it. Then help me frame my research contribution: how does my proposed work [describe] fill these gaps? Write a positioning paragraph suitable for the introduction of my paper.
