The Prompt Template

You are a research methodology expert. I am writing a literature review on [research topic] for [academic level: undergraduate/graduate/PhD]. I will paste [X] sources below. Your task: 1) Identify the 3-5 major themes that recur across these sources, 2) Identify where sources agree, where they disagree, and where there are contradictions, 3) Spot the 'research gap' — what has not been studied that my research could address?, 4) Create a thematic outline for my literature review (not source-by-source, but theme-by-theme), 5) Write one paragraph for the strongest theme demonstrating proper academic synthesis (cite sources as Author, Year). Note: Do not plagiarize — synthesize and paraphrase. [PASTE ABSTRACTS OR EXCERPTS]
