Are AI Tools Killing Review Articles? Two Failure Modes Suggest Otherwise arXiv recently restricted review article submissions in computer science, requiring journal or conference acceptance before deposit. They noted specifically that the change was driven by an “unmanageable influx” and that LLMs made review/position papers “fast and easy to write,” and that many were “little more than annotated bibliographies.”

As we wrap up 2025, I wanted to share some of the videos I've made that strike on my pet peeves in #LiteratureReviews, #SystematicReviews, #searching and #EvidenceSynthesis.

A thread. 🧵 #medlibs

I recently learnt you don't need to defer to the past to plan for or imagine a better future:

*** #LiteratureReviews, the proverbial 'gap in the literature', 'joining the conversation' can stymie a #SociologicalImagination.

Hope, justice, creativity can unleash it.

Understanding Literature Reviews in Healthcare: Narrative Reviews - Healthcare Evidence Search Lab The phrase “systematic review” is commonly used in health sciences to refer to any review that follows well-structured procedures. However, this has created a misunderstanding that a systematic review...

Will AI make #literaturereviews redundant? I really enjoyed how this article addressed this question on top of describing 10 (!) types of review articles in management science, and how they developed over time 💡
Will use it as a guide for writing reviews in the future 🧭

(5) To end, Howard Becker's "Terrorized by the Literature" in his seminal book "Writing for Social Scientists: How to Start and Finish Your Thesis, Book, or Article" is always a must, if only for his playful and argumentative writing style. #academicsky #literaturereviews

Research Guides: Organizing Your Social Sciences Research Paper: 5. The Literature Review Offers detailed guidance on how to develop, organize, and write a college-level research paper in the social and behavioral sciences.

(4) This link to the University of Southern California Libraries. Research Guides: Organizing Your Social Sciences Research Paper – 5. The Literature Review. It has lots more to draw on #academicsky #literaturereviews:
libguides.usc.edu/writingguide...

On a side note, I also find helpful Belcher's chapters "Week 2: Advancing Your Argument" and "Week 6: Crafting Your Claims for Significance." The bits of advice are very helpful for paper wriing, but I'd think for longer form as well (e.g. chapter writing). #academicsky #literaturereviews

(2) In Wendy Belcher's book "Writing Your Journal Article in Twelve Weeks: A Guide to Academic Publishing Success," the ch. "Week 5: Refining Your Works Cited" offers another take quite helpful for paper writing. #academicsky #literaturereviews

I've collected a few more sources on #literaturereviews, to add to the ones in the post/replies below: (1) a favorite source seems to be Chris Hart's "Doing a Literature Review: Releasing the Research Imagination." I especially liked Ch. 1 & 2. New edition out in 2025. #academicsky

My work got accepted. 🤓🥳

I'm very much looking forward to presenting how #NLP and #networks can be used to perform #LiteratureReviews.

Has anyone come across any tools that enable #literaturereviews using a social group?

We have AI and algorithmic literature review options, but I haven't seen a formal software program for finding relevant literature socially.
