Title: findable and understandable

An abstract title that peers cannot find.

Prompt

One job: make the reader believe the claim is warranted. Every paragraph offers a reason or rules out an alternative.

Task: An abstract title that peers cannot find.

[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
   - the core finding
   - field keywords
   - journal conventions
   - length
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.

[Go through each of these]
- variables, relation and population, no metaphor
- include the two most searched keywords
- five versions with search advantages
- no 'a preliminary study'

[Process]
1. Conclusion first, then support
2. One point per paragraph, stated in its first sentence
3. Address alternative explanations and limits
4. Cut sentences that do not advance the argument
5. Check every number has a source

[Output]
Claim, reason, evidence, alternative, limitation.

[Do not]
- No 'obviously' or 'as we all know'
- Never state a fact without a citation
- Do not repeat results in the discussion
- Do not inflate practical implications

What to state before it starts

Leave these unsaid and the model fills them with an assumption. Most 'wrong answers' start here.

  • the core finding
  • field keywords
  • journal conventions
  • length

Go through each of these

Where this kind of work most often goes wrong. Already in the prompt, so you do not have to remember it.

  • variables, relation and population, no metaphor
  • include the two most searched keywords
  • five versions with search advantages
  • no 'a preliminary study'
