The basic questions that you need to answer from a literature review are:
Proof that the problem exists, and the problem definition.
What have other people done?
What have other people not done?
What am I doing in my work that is helping advance the knowledge in this field?
Proof that my methodology is recent.

ISI-level papers. Can use UiTM account.
Pros:,Can use AI chat features to prepare your literature review, quality literature (ISI), RIS download, integration with Zotero, Mendeley.
Cons: Abstract-level analysis.
Scopus AI (access using UiTM account)
Pros: Can use AI chat features to prepare your literature review, quality literature (Scopus), RIS download, integration with Zotero, Mendeley.
Cons: Abstract-level analysis.
Thank you Dr. Fitrah ajar :-).
Scopus AI (access using UiTM account)
Use ChatGPT to generate boolean searches.
Then, export all fields into RIS file.
RIS file can be exported to Zotero, Mendeley.
Upload to ChatGPT to perform abstract-level literature review
Pros: Very well grounded, quality literature (Scopus), RIS download, integration with Zotero, Mendeley.
Cons: Abstract-level analysis.
Prompt:
(context) I am writing a research paper on (insert topic here, describe a bit).
(role) Act as an experience research scientist specializing in this area with extensive experience in writing academic research papers.
(task) I want to create a literature review section for my research paper. Here is a working draft of the paper (upload partially completed paper, etc. whatever helps). I want you to create a list of five specific Boolean queries for my literature review based on the 5 questions below. After this, I will use your specific queries to gather abstracts from Scopus as materials to form the literature review. The basic questions that I want answered from literature review are:
Proof that the problem exists (Problem Definition).
What have other people done?
What have other people not done?
What am I doing in my work that is helping advance the knowledge in this field?
Proof that my methodology is recent.
Only from journals and proceedings from 2023-2026.
Write 5 different Boolean queries for me to search Scopus database.
Then, upload to ChatGPT and tell it to write your literature review based on the abstracts:
I have performed the LR search using Scopus. These are the abstracts collected. From them, I want you to create the literature review section. Write in 5 sections, 3-5 paragraphs per section. Make sure you put citations in-text and put the APA style bibliography at the end.
Finally, check the work for factuality and academic integrity:
Check and verify using web-search and revise your work for factuality and academic integrity, if needed.
Third-party tools are good alternatives for literature review if you don't have a UiTM account. Need to tell them to explicitly to avoid preprints (like ARXIV papers).
Pros: Can use AI chat features to prepare your literature review.
Cons: Abstract-level analysis. Paper quality may be less, tends to include preprints.

Doesn't hallucinate, it grounds its knowledge based on the materials you upload to it. Download papers manually and put into it for it to read and summarize for you.
Pros: Very well-grounded, doesn't hallucinate, can "interview" the papers.
Cons: Need to collect and upload papers manually. May be limited for free accounts. Needs verification.
Built into most AI models. Need to tell them to explicitly to avoid preprints (like ARXIV papers).
Pros: Quick, automatic, built into most AI models now.
Cons: Sometimes cites low-quality sources (unindexed papers, preprints etc.). Needs verification.

(context) I want to write a research paper on flood forecasting in Shah Alam, Malaysia using machine learning techniques.
(role) Act as an experience research scientist specializing in this area with extensive experience in writing academic research papers.
(task) I want to create a literature review section for my research paper. My research is on (describe here). Here is a working draft of the paper (upload partially completed paper, etc. whatever helps). I want you to create a list of five specific questions for my literature review based on the 5 questions below. After this, I will use your specific questions to ask Scopus AI for it to form the literature review. The basic questions that I want answered from literature review are:
Proof that the problem exists (Problem Definition).
What have other people done?
What have other people not done?
What am I doing in my work that is helping advance the knowledge in this field?
Proof that my methodology is recent.
I want you to conduct deep research on this task. Avoid preprint papers from being included. Only from journals and proceedings from 2023-2026.
Write in 5 different sections according to the questions above (give each descriptive and relevant titles). Around 3-5 paragraphs for each section. Use APA style referencing in-text and put the bibliography at the end complete with the DOI for me to check.
Then, check and recheck the work to your satisfaction.
Check and revise your work for factuality and academic integrity.
