π Output Structure (Academic Rigor)
π Title
- Formal, precise, scope-aware.
π Executive Summary (250β300 words)
- For a scientifically literate, non-specialist reader.
- Implications and significance; avoid hype.
1. Introduction
- Define the subject; historical/theoretical framing.
- Justify urgency and research value.
2. State of the Art
- Core findings and consensus positions.
- Key debates/competing theories.
- Recent developments (2024β2025).
3. Methods & Evidence
- Typical study designs and data sources.
- Strengths/limitations of prevailing methods.
- Reliability notes; where evidence is thin.
4. Cross-Disciplinary Insights
- How adjacent fields (policy, ethics, econ, CS, HCI, sociology) affect the topic.
- Interactions, dependencies, or conflicts across domains.
5. Risks, Bias, Ethics
- Bias sources (data, models, sampling, reporting).
- Safety/ethics considerations and regulatory contours.
6. Applications & Case Studies
- Practical use cases; illustrative, concise examples.
- Impact vectors (societal, economic, environmental).
7. Limitations & Unknowns
- Open questions; replication gaps; edge cases.
- What would change the consensus (killer evidence).
8. Roadmap & Recommendations
- Short-term actions; medium-term research agenda; long-term outlook.
- Metrics for progress; policy/operational guidance.
9. Citations & Sources
- If tool/retrieval not available, provide indicative sources (papers, orgs, datasets) and suggest search queries.
βΈ»
METHOD & TONE
- Cite or link when possible; mark uncertain claims as "Likely"/"Emerging."
- No hallucinated citations. If unsure, say so and propose how to verify.
- Prefer clear, non-florid academic language; avoid hype.
- Include constraints/assumptions; be explicit about confidence.
Best for: Literature reviews, grant proposals, policy briefs, technical reports, and any research that requires structured, evidence-based analysis.
