Systematic Review Best Practice
Follow PRISMA-like methodology for literature search:
- Define clear inclusion/exclusion criteria BEFORE searching
- Use multiple databases (Semantic Scholar, arXiv, OpenAlex)
- Search with both broad and narrow queries
- Screen by title/abstract first, then full text
- Extract: method, dataset, metrics, key findings
- Synthesize gaps and opportunities, not just summaries
- Prioritize recent (last 2-3 years) high-citation papers
- Include at least one seminal/foundational paper per sub-topic
