How Graduate Students Can Use AI Tools to Assist with Literature Reviews

On November 13, 2026, at 15:00, the Chinese tech and lifestyle publication sspai published an article about how graduate students can use AI tools to help complete a literature review. Drawing on the author's own experience with research writing, the piece walks through the workflow and practical methods used to produce a literature review with AI assistance. It also explores how AI is reshaping academic writing and lays out a specific combination of tools together with concrete practices.

A central claim in the article is that AI changes not research writing itself, but the way people work while carrying it out. The discussion is presented from the author's firsthand perspective, and the report does not include external commentary, responses from other researchers, or any follow-up developments beyond this practical, experience-based account. At this point, the available coverage is limited to this single write-up describing the workflow and tool choices, with no further updates on how the approach has been adopted or assessed.
