In the pack: ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini Prompts for Researchers & Academics
Discussion Skeleton: Claims Calibrated to Your Evidence
Prompt
Main findings (state each as in the results): {{MAIN_FINDINGS}}
Related work I want to discuss, with what each supports (tagged [S1], [S2]): {{RELATED_WORK_POINTS}}
Study limitations I am aware of: {{KNOWN_LIMITATIONS}}
Target journal's conventions, if any: {{JOURNAL_CONVENTIONS}}
Produce:
1. A skeleton: opening summary of the key finding, then each main finding interpreted, compared with the related work I listed, and explained, then implications, limitations, and conclusion.
2. For every finding, give the strongest claim my evidence supports and a stronger claim it does not support. Tell me to avoid the second.
3. Mark any place where I might be tempted to infer causation from correlation, generalise beyond the sample, or explain a null result as if it were a finding.
4. List alternative explanations a reviewer might raise for each key finding.
5. Mark with [NEEDS SOURCE] anything that would require evidence I have not supplied.
Do not add citations, authors or findings of your own. Output as an outline with notes under each heading.
