"DEFINITELY DON'T DO THAT". I love that face there, Andy!!! 😃 These are exceptionally perfect tips.

[@ayelelegesse.6830]

Trust me! the moment I see that expression on his face, I couldn't hold my laughter, although I was in a library...and rushed to the comment section.........and .....here you are!!! well said bro, and he's fantastic.😀

[@lalagarayeva7590]

I thought he was serious with his words hah

[@Supreme_1906]

He definitely had me going... 😅

[@minchurandom]

I normally don’t comment on videos, but just want to express the love to your channel, especially the warning part about sci-hub 😂

[@vugar_ibrahimov]

why don't you comment? not commenting is not something to be proud of.

[@michaellillich1298]

​@@vugar_ibrahimovshy people exist. Library Genesis also exists, but we shouldn't use it.

[@vugar_ibrahimov]

@@michaellillich1298definitely, I do not use libgen and plus I do not use z llibrary either.

[@waleakinola]

O yeah, very important advice 😉😂😂😂

[@NORLINAMALI]

Hahahah.. true

[@wasstula]

I also warned my students about Sci-Hub and showed in detail what they should avoid doing.

[@daedalusdenton9144]

You made sure to emphasize the name Sci-Hub multiple times too?

[@thop1984]

You have to be the most important KZbin channel (out of hundreds) that I am subscribed to. You are providing such current information on helpful AI sources for Ph.D. students; it is very helpful and appreciated. Thank you.

[@Behnam75289]

Your comments sounds Iranian 😅

[@litmaps]

Thank you for sharing, Andy! This is phenomenal in terms of being such a realistic, practical and actionable workflow. It's great to see the use of both Seed and Discover back-to-back as well. Seeing the rate of how quickly you pull this together isn't just impressive, but really reflective of the nature of research and how rapidly its evolving. Not so long ago, researchers were sifting manually through paper references -- and what used to take months is now done in seconds. Amazing, and intriguing to see how it all develops.

[@ArunYadav-lf4ti]

00:01 The first step in writing a literature review is to come up with a structure. 01:46 Collect all the references from the most recent literature review 03:38 Use a reference manager like Mlay to organize and capture research papers 05:27 Finding high-level information and review papers for understanding organic photovoltaic devices. 07:08 Use Doc analyzer to analyze and organize documents for your literature review 08:58 Identifying important parts of documents requires specific keywords. 10:40 Using an AI tool like mlay makes it easy to generate a literature review by copying and pasting information with proper citations. 12:30 Organic photovoltaics and their future applications.

[@mushi3101]

Hey you missed 4:36. Don't use scihub if you can't find pdf's. It's giving away papers for free which is ruining academic research.

[@cesmed]

Thanks

[@AdsorbentBoot3]

Mendeley*...

[@douglasdrumond]

Sarcasm is not always obvious to me. I was prepared to disagree with you on Sci-Hub, but that pause and that expression made me rethink and then I realised it was sarcasm.

[@techwithtee8721]

😂😂😂

[@Kirnotsarg]

I was expecting him to wink

[@miheico]

the sci-hub part is brilliant! thx a lot for your work

[@Joshocan]

Thanks you Andy. One of your videos guided me successfully through the PhD application and interview process. This particular video is perhaps the most crucial and up-to-date resource for initiating my PhD journey. Much appreciated.

[@shawnb4745]

When I started framing my dissertation, I had a document that had categories that matched my major themes and sub-themes. I practically lived on Google Scholar doing keyword searches. Articles that are essentially mini-literature reviews of extant and current literature are the biggest time savers. As I did it, I created my reference list and put it into alpha order with DOI and the existing citations that the articles provided. Worked great.

[@victorfebo2672]

Andy, you have been a God's sent to my doctoral dissertation! Thanks a bunch for this fantastic work!

[@grahamhilton3110]

Another great information-packed edition, am trying to start my review currently and struggling to find papers on what I feel are relevant! Thanks for this great video they certainly make me think more lol

[@damilareadejuwon2308]

You are a Gem for me and most people, ever since came across your page. It’s amazing and mind blowing to have learnt so much. Keep it up Andy

[@joannaervik467]

Andy, so grateful for this video. You are The ultimate Academia Robinhood. God Bless you.

just what i needed at this moment!

[@dagingerbreadman70]

Sci-Hub carried me for my senior undergrad capstone hehehe

[@mswatson4340]

THANK YOU! I have detested doing Lit Reviews since my BA and I have never been able to master them. I feel like I can apply this video to my dissertation next year. Thank you so very much!!!

[@ismailujaimi15]

Thank you a lot, Andy .. I am a new Ph.D. student and I feel really frustrated, lost and don't know where to start since I am doing it 100% online... but you gave me a great roadmap to leap forward! Many thanks

[@holsten.9145]

How is everything going ? did you manage to start?

[@naev0]

Hi Andy, I'm a masters student but your channel is still so helpful, thank you

[@SoNick25]

never before have I been so excited to do a lit review!!!

[@user-rz6hz4dd7u]

Thank you Andy such a wonderful and useful content👍

[@DennySantos23]

Excellent video. Super appreciative of these videos and the work you do. Being able to demystify the PHD process and make it more manageable if truly helping the next generation of Docs out there. Keep up the excellent work.

[@nro337]

This is fantastic information, thank you for sharing all of this information for students!

Thank you 🙏 what a useful video - very simple and informative 👍👍👍

[@TimothyAllison1]

Hi Andy, I love your videos. Have you thought about doing a video series, showing your favorite AI tools and how to use them in combination to complete a research paper. Honestly, you have so many videos, with so many tools, it becomes overwhelming. Just some food for thought.

[@DrAndyStapleton]

Great idea! I'll add it to my list of video. Thank you for the suggestion.

[@asstrole]

Stellar video and info. Zotero = Ref Manager & PDF management

[@markeg]

[@ernestinabaidoe9392]

Thanks so much for this!

[@AustinThomasPhD]

When you said looking up papers was the 'fun part' (relatively speaking at least), that is when I knew for sure that you are legit.

[@tamarawehbe]

this video is exceptional! thank you!

[@knockitdown20]

Great vid Andy.. I've been thinking of using scite instead of elicit. Would love your take on how scite is different from elicit for lit reviews?

[@Limahcares]

OMG! These tools would literally save me hours of manually searching literature. Thank you, Andy! From experience, which is better between Litmaps and Connected Papers?

[@mossreimer7498]

You are brilliant. Thank you.

[@henriquealves1104]

Man, I do not have other words than that: I Love You. By knowing all the tips and talking about it so fluently I guess you could be an AI... or you are

[@FREEDOM2604]

it was good. thank you Dr. Andy. i have a suggestion or maybe a request rom you. which is you could also make some longer video and do the whole process with more details and come up with solid samples you make out of this process at the end. just a request.

[@Mo-bv3if]

You’re a legend

[@Playttime]

Informative, helpful, and brilliant as always. I am a new PhD, and your channel is my guidance. I have a question. Should we focuse on one single topic during the PhD in Australia? Could the PhD be done by publishing a groupe of papers on analysising different data in the same field?

[@luddus3279]

Great video. Seems like a very practical and straightforward way to conduct a Lit. Review. I would like to have an opinion on the part about taking notes. It seems that Andrew works directly on a Word document. I have been using the Zettelkasten methodology and Obsydian. However, my impression is that the work in building the notes and the connection is not adding value to the actual writing down of the final lit. review document. Did someone have some experience with this? Did the Zettelkasten method add value or is redundant (a waste of time) in the actual AI-powered research environment?

[@zakirhossain4544]

Thank you very much, Andy !

[@DrAndyStapleton]

You are welcome!

[@MilnerPhilE]

I love your videos!!! My field is Business and my dissertation is on Construction Labor Productivity. I love the tools you mention but the number of papers that come back are relatively few. Is there a way to fix that? I have had some success by iteratively finding key words or phrases in relevant paper titles and using that in the search field for tools like Elicit and Paper Digest.

[@Evelyn-gr6mp]

Thank you!!

[@anthonyarthurmensah5240]

Warning about scihub well taken into consideration. Haha. Thanks for the awesome videos

[@michaelsami6409]

Great video.

[@michaelsami6409]

this is genius

[@PelinAyter]

Looking at the bits we should not do. There was also paper exchange groups in Facebook, I'm sure they may exist elsewhere now. If your university/research centre has access to a paper that someone else does not and vice versa, you could request in those places and fulfil requests for others. I used that a lot back in the day. Now that all my old classmates are already academics, I just pester them instead ^_^ as I'm the one who changed academic interest 5 times and thus still doing her first PhD.

[@pammy_15_]

Dear Andy and readers, I'm delighted to have found this channel, which has been a significant aid in my writing. I'm seeking guidance on how to use Elicit and/or Connected Papers effectively. My confusion lies in whether I need to individually locate and download each paper? Are these platforms designed to help me summarize the content without full access to the papers themselves? I'm feeling overwhelmed by the time it takes to find each document, which hampers my progress. Any advice, tips, or even links to Andy's videos that offer a detailed explanation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[@pavithramadushanka1830]

Thank you

[@johnmcghee3963]

I booked a writing retreat and used this video as a guide for writing my literature review and I was quite disappointed. I already had the paid version of chatgpt, but paid for doc analyser and litmaps to make sure I was getting the most out of this three day writing retreat. Waste of money. My advise would be to stick with the paid version of chatgpt, ask it for help refining your questions to guide your lit review. Once you have your questions, upload two or three documents at a time and ask it to summarise them. Then start asking it the questions it helped you refine. Once you’ve asked it 7 or 8 questions open a new chat and do the same with that chat. However, you need to keep reminding it with every question to provide citation and page number. Also to tell you when it’s using a direct quote or when it’s doing the analysis for you.

[@yume4437]

Thank you. I have the paid verison of chatgptp, and was thinking about buying buying docanalyzer, but you tips about refining ChatGpt use seems it will be helpful. I appreciate it.

[@johnmcghee3963]

@@yume4437yeh I didn’t use litmaps at all and doc analyzer maybe works better in some areas of research than others. I wasted 2 days on doc analyser before realising that no matter what I done, chatgpt was much more efficient for refining my questions and analysing my documents. ChatGPT spat out an awful lot of repetition though - out of more than 21k words I was only able to use about 3000 or so and that was after some really heavy editing.

[@drury2d8]

My advisor did his PhD in 1970s, with no internet. Wonder how they did it back then - it was quality over quantity. While amount of research has increased several fold, the fact that 'less is more' holds true to this day.

[@vugar_ibrahimov]
