Exercise overview: AI-only literature mapping in a known stream
Inputs
- One familiar subfield
- AI literature search workflow
- 2D mapping prompt with two chosen dimensions
Deliverable
AI-generated table + 2D map + verification note (and optional Zotero MCP test note).
Target
Pick a small stream you know well and submit an AI-generated literature table, 2D map, and your verification note.
Submission
- Use the live launcher: Live Exercises
- Direct prefilled form: E09 submission link
Checklist
- Make one explicit design decision.
- Include one verification check.
- State one limitation or risk.
Common failure modes
- Papers are provided to AI up front, defeating the exercise.
- No explicit verification against prior domain knowledge.
Extension task (optional)
Configure Zotero MCP and compare recall quality before vs after integration.
