Why write a literature review if AI can do it for you? - LSE Impact The potential for AI tool to assess and organise research literature presents an opportunity to rethink why they are undertaken in the first place.

🗣️"Rather, than lose the proverbial forest through the trees, researchers can ask more important questions, such as: why is a review needed, and where does it aim to take a field?"

Dismissive literature reviews reduce understanding – so why do academics keep making them? - LSE Impact Richard Phelps argues there is rarely a lack of pre-existing literature, but claiming so is a rhetorical move to give priority to one’s own research.

🗃️"With a dismissive review, a scholar assures an audience that little or no previous research exists on a topic or, if it does, it is so poorly done it is not worth citing."

A graphic that reads "The Benefits of Conducting Literature Reviews," with a photograph of stacked books on the left. Next to the books, 5 bullet points read: 1) Minimizing the need to start from scratch 2) Getting a better sense of what "success" looks like 3) Understanding what may constrain or support progress toward desired outcomes 4) Learning what has and hasn't worked in the past 5) Establishing strategies for measuring impact

For two examples of what makes these beneficial, see the lit reviews we recently conducted through projects w/ partners at Children’s National Hospital and @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social.
