Скачать или смотреть Train ChatGPT to Be Your Lit Review Assistant in 7 Steps 📚🤖

Here’s how to train ChatGPT to act like your personal literature review assistant:

👉 Prompt:“I need help creating a clear, structured literature review for my thesis. Please follow these steps:

1. Define Scope
Ask me for my research question or topic
Limit the scope (e.g., last 10 years, specific region, or subfield)
Identify key debates and trending themes in the area

2. Organize Themes
Group the literature into 3–5 major themes or perspectives
For each theme: explain its focus, mention key authors, and show how it links to my research question

3. Map the Literature
Create a conceptual map or bullet outline of how themes connect
Highlight overlaps, contradictions, and evolution of ideas over time

4. Identify Gaps
Suggest 3–5 research gaps in this field
Explain why they are important and what remains unanswered

5. Propose Structure
Suggest a logical chapter flow: Intro → Theme 1 → Theme 2 → Theme 3 → Synthesis → Gaps → Summary

6. Draft Content
Write a sample introduction paragraph for my literature review
Keep tone academic but accessible

7. Extra Suggestions
Recommend key authors, journals, and recent influential papers (last 5 years) I should explore
Highlight how to frame the review so it leads naturally to my research question”*

⚡ Why this works:
✅ Turns messy searching into a structured review✅ Saves months of trial and error✅ Gives you both an outline and a starter paragraph
