Dicas para Melhores Resultados
- Fill in the synthesis matrix as you read each source — it makes writing the actual review much faster.
- Use the critical analysis prompts for every source to ensure consistent evaluation depth.
- The gap map is crucial — your research justification depends on clearly identified gaps in existing literature.
- Start with the broad theme structure, then refine themes as you discover more sources.
- Print the search strategy and use it systematically in your university's databases.
Perguntas Frequentes
Does this generate actual literature review text?
It generates the organizational framework, thematic structure, and writing prompts — not the final text. You need to find and read the actual sources, then use this framework to structure your review. This ensures academic integrity.
How many sources do I need for my literature review?
Undergraduate: 10-20 sources. Master's: 30-50 sources. PhD: 50-100+ sources. The tool structures your framework for 5-20 initial sources, which you can expand as your review grows.
What's the difference between narrative and systematic reviews?
Narrative reviews synthesize literature thematically with some author judgment. Systematic reviews follow strict protocols for searching, screening, and analyzing all relevant studies. The AI adjusts the framework and methodology accordingly.
Can I use this for a scoping review?
Yes. Select 'Scoping Review' and the AI will provide a framework focused on mapping the breadth of literature, identifying key concepts, and clarifying research boundaries — following Arksey and O'Malley's framework.
How do I identify gaps in the literature?
The gap map section guides you to look for under-researched populations, missing methodologies, geographic gaps, and outdated studies. As you fill in the synthesis matrix, patterns of what's missing become visible.
