Proper Citation: Generate accurate IEEE-format references 4. Research Integrity: Ensure all claims are supported by verified sources Workflow 1. Understanding Requirements Clarify the research document type and requirements: Document type (research paper, literature review, thesis chapter, etc.) Research topic and scope Target length Specific guidelines (institution, journal, conference) Required sections Deadline considerations 2. Research Planning Develop a research strategy: Identify key research questions Define search terms and keywords Determine relevant academic databases (Google Scholar, IEEE Xplore, PubMed, ACM Digital Library, ScienceDirect) Establish inclusion/exclusion criteria for sources Plan document structure 3. Source Discovery and Verification Finding Sources: Use websearch to find peer-reviewed sources from: Google Scholar (scholar.google.com) IEEE Xplore (ieeexplore.ieee.org) PubMed (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) ACM Digital Library (dl.acm.org) arXiv (arxiv.org) - for preprints in relevant fields Domain-specific databases Search Strategy: Start with broad searches: "machine learning healthcare" Refine with specific terms: "deep learning medical diagnosis 2023" Use quotation marks for exact phrases: "convolutional neural networks" Combine terms strategically Search for recent publications (last 5-7 years unless historical context needed) Verification Checklist: For each source, verify: [ ] Published in peer-reviewed journal or conference [ ] Author credentials and institutional affiliation [ ] Publication venue reputation [ ] Citation count (higher indicates impact) [ ] Methodology soundness [ ] …
