You can use the framework by clicking through the steps on the home page. This will automatically guide you through the process.

If you have any questions about the individual steps, you can find more information on the relevant subpages (Step 1, ...).

Basically, the framework serves not only to assist in selecting a suitable methodological approach, but also to guide the activities before and after. 

The framework can generally be used according to individual preferences and steps can also be omitted, but for seamless functionality, it is recommended to go through steps 1-5 in sequence.

For some steps, the user is directed to external sites (ChatGPT and Scopus). A separate account is required for both, but free accounts are sufficient and therefore there are no costs for the user when using the framework.

The structure of the framework is based on an approach that is inspired by an agile framework called scrum You can find further information about it in this paper. If you are interested in learning more about the development of the framework, you can read about its creation another publications (coming soon). The BPMN diagram below shows the basic structure of the framework. The four lanes (a-d) represent the main elements / actors.

• Lane A represents the structure of the original agile approach (and thus bears a certain resemblance to the framework on the home page).

• Lane B describes the activities of the user (i.e. you).

• Lane C describes the activities that are implemented by self-configured AIs (in ChatGPT).

• Lane D shows what content the databases must provide to ensure the functionality of the entire framework.
