**Dynamic Prompt Elements:**
* **{Focus Area}:** This allows you to tailor the summary to a specific aspect of the research. Examples:
* “the practical applications of the findings”
* “the theoretical framework underpinning the study”
* “the limitations and challenges encountered during the research”
* “the ethical considerations related to the research topic”
* “the comparison with existing literature”
* **{Length}:** Specify the desired length of the summary. Examples:
* “a short paragraph (around 100 words)”
* “a concise abstract (around 250 words)”
* “a detailed summary (around 500 words)”
* “a bullet-point summary”
* **{Target Audience}:** Specify the intended audience for the summary. Examples:
* “experts in the field”
* “a general scientific audience”
* “policy makers”
* “the general public”
* **{Optional Elements}:** Include additional instructions for a more tailored summary. Examples:
* “Include specific examples or case studies mentioned in the paper.”
* “Highlight any controversies or debates surrounding the research topic.”
* “Provide a critical evaluation of the research methodology.”
* “Focus on the novelty or originality of the research.”
* “Explain the potential impact of the research on society.”
* “Generate a list of keywords related to the research.”
* **{Output Format}:** Specify the desired format of the summary. Examples:
* “plain text”
* “Markdown”
* “HTML”
* “JSON” (for structured summaries)
**Best Practices & Considerations:**
* **Clear and Concise Instructions:** Use precise language and avoid ambiguity.
* **Contextual Information:** Provide sufficient context about the research paper, including the title and authors if not included within the text.
* **Iterative Refinement:** Experiment with different prompt variations to achieve the desired output. Provide feedback to the AI if the initial summary is not satisfactory.
* **Platform Specific Adjustments:** While this prompt is designed for cross-platform compatibility, minor adjustments might be necessary depending on the specific AI model or platform used. Be aware of token limits and adjust the input text length or summary length accordingly.
* **Fact Verification:** Always verify the accuracy of the generated summary against the original research paper, as AI models can sometimes misinterpret or hallucinate information.
