Lost in the Literature? That's exactly where your literature review begins. Mushtaq Bilal shows you how.
Live masterclass with Mushtaq Bilal.
Starting a PhD, a master's dissertation, or your first big research project in 2026? Exciting stuff.
But first, you have to get your head around everything that's already been written on your topic. It's just you, a topic you love… and about ten thousand papers.
Good news: it doesn't mean you're behind, every researcher you admire started exactly here. Now it's your turn. Let's help you find your way in.
Join Mushtaq Bilal, one of academia's most trusted voices on AI, as he starts a literature review live, from scratch. Follow Mushtaq down the rabbit hole as he:
Takes a topic into ResearchRabbit, finds a first paper, follows the citation network, and grows a visual map of an entire field.
Finds foundational papers, the debates, the surprising connections, and the gaps where new questions are hiding. All of it, unfolding on screen in real time.
You'll leave with a method you can use the same day, and a whole new feeling about that blank page.
New to literature reviews? Perfect. On your fifth? Also perfect. Bring your topic to the Q&A and you might see it mapped live.
