常见问题

Can I use this outline for my thesis or dissertation?

Yes. Select 'Master's' or 'PhD' level and the AI will generate a more detailed outline with dissertation-specific sections. Use it as a starting framework and customize with your advisor's requirements.

Does the outline include citation suggestions?

The outline suggests types of sources to find and key search databases, but does not generate specific citations. Use the suggested themes to guide your literature search in Google Scholar or your university's database.

How detailed should my methodology description be?

The more detail you provide about your planned methodology, the more specific the outline will be. Even a brief description like 'online survey with 200 participants' helps the AI tailor the methodology section.

Is this appropriate for journal submissions?

Select 'Professional / Journal' level for publication-ready outlines. The AI follows standard academic paper conventions (IMRAD format for empirical papers). Check your target journal's specific requirements.

Can I use this for a literature review paper?

Yes. Select 'Literature Review' as the paper type. The outline will focus on thematic organization, synthesis frameworks, and systematic review protocols rather than original data collection.
