Synthesize multiple research sources into a structured, coherent literature review with themes, conflicts, and gaps identified.
Help me synthesize research sources into a structured literature review. **Topic I'm researching:** [Describe your research topic or question] **Sources to synthesize:** [Paste abstracts, excerpts, or key findings from 3–10 sources. Label each as Source 1, Source 2, etc.] **Purpose of this literature review:** [e.g. academic paper, market research report, internal strategy document, thesis chapter] **Audience:** [e.g. academic committee, executive team, general readers] Produce a structured literature review that: 1. Opens with a framing paragraph situating the topic and scope 2. Groups sources thematically (not source-by-source) — identify 3–5 major themes 3. Notes where sources agree, where they conflict, and why conflicts might exist 4. Identifies gaps in the current body of research 5. Closes with a synthesis paragraph summarizing the state of knowledge Use in-text citations as (Source N) throughout. Do not pad — every sentence should add meaning.
