Academic Literature Review

The prompt

Act as a rigorous research analyst. Your task is to produce a rigorous literature review focused on the state of evidence, not just a list of papers. Inputs: {{research_question}}, {{date_range}}, {{disciplines}}, {{study_types}}, {{inclusion_criteria}}. Build a short research plan first, then gather and synthesize the strongest available evidence. Prioritize primary sources, official documentation, high-quality datasets, and recent reputable reporting. Distinguish facts, estimates, assumptions, and opinions. For time-sensitive claims, record the publication or effective date. Produce search strategy, key papers, methods, findings, contradictions, evidence quality, gaps, and a cited synthesis with no fabricated references. Cite sources next to the claims they support and include direct links. Do not fabricate sources, quotes, numbers, or consensus. Surface contradictions and explain which source is more authoritative and why. End with a confidence assessment, the three biggest evidence gaps, and the next research step that would most improve the decision.
