AI-Assisted Framework for Managing Literature Overload in Doctoral Research

​Doctoral researchers face a common and overwhelming challenge: too many papers, too little time, and the constant fear of missing something critical. Managing hundreds of articles across multiple themes, databases, and citation formats can quickly derail your research progress.

​In this session, we introduce an AI-assisted framework specifically designed to help PhD researchers organise, prioritise, and synthesise large volumes of literature, without burning out.

​What you'll learn:

• ​How to build a structured system for managing large literature volumes

• ​AI tools and workflows to filter, categorise, and summarise papers efficiently

• ​How to identify research gaps without reading every paper in full

• ​Practical strategies to stay on top of new publications in your field

• ​How SciSpace can support your entire literature management workflow

​Designed for doctoral students and early-career researchers who are ready to work smarter, not harder.
