Extract the parts that matter for writing: what the paper asked, how it studied the question, what it found, and where it stops.
Start with a research topic, search open scholarly indexes, select relevant papers, and generate a structured literature matrix. The matrix gives you a grounded view of research questions, methods, samples, findings, limitations, and relevance before you write.
Literature reviews fail when papers are summarized one by one. A matrix makes comparison visible, so your review can discuss themes, agreements, disagreements, and gaps instead of becoming an annotated bibliography.
AI is used to structure notes, propose outlines, and draft synthesis paragraphs from the selected paper metadata. You still verify the source, check the full text, and decide what belongs in the final submission.
