Literature Review Synthesis
Synthesize a set of papers into themes, agreements, and genuine conflicts, with claims traced to sources and gaps named honestly.
Papers and sources to synthesize: """ [PASTE ABSTRACTS, FULL TEXTS, OR YOUR NOTES. LABEL EACH WITH AUTHOR, YEAR, AND TITLE.] """ Synthesize the sources above into a literature review. My research question: [THE QUESTION] Field and intended reader: [WHO WILL READ THIS AND WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW] Produce: 1. **Source table.** One row per source: citation, what it studied, method, sample or dataset size, main finding, and the limitation the authors themselves named. Where a field is not present in what I pasted, write "not stated" rather than inferring it. 2. **Themes.** Group the findings into 3-6 themes that answer the research question. For each theme: what the sources collectively support, and every claim tagged with the sources behind it. A theme resting on a single source must say so. 3. **Agreements and conflicts.** Where sources genuinely converge, and where they genuinely conflict. For each conflict, state whether it comes from a difference in method, population, definition, or time period, or whether it is a real empirical disagreement. Do not resolve a conflict by averaging it. 4. **Methodological quality.** Which findings rest on strong designs and which on small samples, single sites, or self-report. This is not a criticism of the authors; it is what tells the reader how much weight to put where. 5. **Gaps.** What the question needs that this set does not answer: populations not studied, methods not used, time periods not covered, questions not asked. 6. **The synthesis paragraph.** What can be said with confidence right now, in prose, with the uncertainty stated rather than hedged away. Rules: use only the sources I provided. Do not add papers from memory, do not invent citations, findings, sample sizes, or years, and do not attribute a claim to a source that does not make it. If two sources use the same term to mean different things, that is a finding worth stating. Mark anything you inferred rather than read as [INFERRED].
How to use
Enforce the rule against adding papers from memory above everything else here. Fabricated citations are the best-documented failure mode in academic AI use, and they convince because the author names and journals are real even when the paper is not. Paste only sources you have actually read. Section 3 is where the intellectual work lives, since conflicts caused by different operational definitions look identical to real disagreements until someone checks.
