The Prompt
Prompt
Use these prompts inside your preferred AI tool. Replace the bracketed parts with your real situation. The value is in the context you provide, not in copying the prompt exactly.
1. Act as an AI assistant for postgraduate researchers. I need help with literature review planning. My context is [CONTEXT]. Ask me up to three clarifying questions, then give me a practical first draft.
2. Create a step-by-step workflow for literature review planning. Audience or stakeholder: [AUDIENCE]. Goal: [GOAL]. Constraints: [CONSTRAINTS]. Keep it realistic for my environment.
3. Review this output for literature review planning: [PASTE OUTPUT]. Tell me what is unclear, generic, risky, missing, or not specific enough for postgraduate researchers.
4. Give me three versions of this literature review planning output: simple, professional, and warm. Context: [CONTEXT]. Draft: [PASTE DRAFT].
5. Create a reusable prompt template I can use every time I need help with literature review planning. Include placeholders for context, goal, audience, tone, constraints, and review criteria.
After each response, ask one follow-up: "Make this more specific to my situation: [ADD DETAIL]." That second step is where the prompt becomes useful for real work.Operational Use Case
Use this when you need AI support for literature review planning in a way that matches postgraduate researchers.
How to Customize
Replace every bracketed placeholder with your real context. Add your location, audience, goal, constraints, tone, and examples. Ask one follow-up prompt to make the answer more specific before using it.
