Step-by-Step Literature Search and Review with AI Agents: Find the Right Papers Fast with SciSpace
Most literature reviews stall at the very first step: finding the right papers. Hours go into keyword searches, scrolling through irrelevant results and juggling tabs, before any reading or writing begins.
In this live, hands-on session, Dr. Lyndon Walker shows how to run a fast, rigorous literature search and review with SciSpace’s AI agents, step by step. He starts from a research question and finishes with a structured review backed by accurate citations.
