Final call to the Literature Review Webinar

Dear Scholar,

This week I have been preparing for the upcoming webinar in less than 18 hours. It is going to be phenomenal and over 400 academics already signed up for it. So what is the literature review process about? Here is an explaining diagram I will present tomorrow:

The webinar is centered around 8 key strategies and additionally goes into note-taking and academic writing. All examples are from my own research in the last month that were highly relevant, not theoretical, to me. The result is a much more efficient and effortless literature review process.

This webinar goes far beyond a "here is how to use the tool videos" you can find online. I have used every tool extensively and will be explaining limitations and strengths. The tools together are woven into a workflow (as depicted above) that helps you along every step of the literature review.

The Eight AI Literature Review Strategies

Strategy 1: Topic Search I want to understand the broad strokes of an idea that is entirely new to me.

Strategy 2: Semantic Search I want to find evidence for a specific, narrow proposition or question.

Strategy 3: Citation Search I want to find all relevant literature on a topic that's new but not unknown to me.

Strategy 4: Gap Search I want to find which papers an author, or I could have cited but didn’t (gap).

Strategy 5: AI Filtering I want to identify 20% of the papers with 80% of the relevant insights.

Strategy 6: AI Support Analysis I want to understand if this paper supports a specific proposition/question.

Strategy 7: AI Review Analysis I want to find all the evidence for an idea presented in a particular paper

Strategy 8: Citation Filling: I want to find citations to support my claim.

If you are struggling with any of these use cases, you will benefit from the webinar. As a bonus, we will build our own ChatGPT assistant to help with academic writing.

Will this webinar be a rerun of a previous one?

Absolutely not. If you have visited my previous webinar the workflow above will be entirely new to you. For example, we use the ChatGPT store that was introduced in October 2023, and the SciSpace and Consensus integrations came out in January 2024. Litmaps, the core tool in this process, launched a brand new UI and many new features this week (yes, that's 2 days ago).

​

Will there be a recording?

Better than a recording. Everyone who signs up gets access to an annotated, edited, and cut version of the recording with additional links. I aim at finishding it 3-4 days after the webinar. Here is what a participant wrote about the recording of the last webinar:

Are there discounts?

Students are eligible for a 25% discount. Normally, I ask you to email me from your institutional address, but since the webinar is happening in less than 24 hours, you can use this link. I trust non-students to not use this link.

Folks from lower and middle-income countries get an automatic discount based on their location. Visit the website and find the blue banner at the top. Discounts range from 10-50%.

I will also have discount codes of up to 40% for most tools. If you decide to use their paid versions you will indeed save money by joining this webinar! Litmaps is currently offering a free webinar ticket for anyone who signs up for their annual product. (I will make sure Litmaps double-checks it before the webinar).

ps: Received this email after the webinar date? You can still purchase a ticket and I will email you the annotated recording (3-4 days after webinar). After that the webinar page will be taken down.
