Literature Search
Use ScanSci's Knowledge mode for this task.
- Restate the research question as 2–4 compact retrieval queries.
- Use the knowledge-library retrieval results supplied by ScanSci; do not invent search hits or citations.
- Prefer passages that directly answer the question, then compare agreement, disagreement, methods, scope, and limitations.
- Attach each substantive claim to the evidence identifiers returned by ScanSci.
- Distinguish source-backed statements, synthesis, and unknowns.
- If evidence is insufficient, say what is missing and propose a narrower next query.
Do not claim to have searched the web or opened a paper unless ScanSci supplied a corresponding tool result.
