Check the research chain
Start from the problem or gap, then trace objectives, method, data/evidence, results, and claims. If the chain breaks, fluent writing will not make the work ready.
Research Review Concept
A thesis review is not just language editing. It must test whether the whole research argument holds together: problem, objectives, method, evidence, results, references, scope, and limitations.
Read evidence before opinion
Every important claim needs support from manuscript evidence, precise citations, datasets, baselines, metrics, raw results, or verified compliance sources.
Think like a field reviewer
Ask whether the work fits the degree level and target venue, whether key references or baselines are missing, and whether claims exceed the evidence.
Research Methodology Companion Handout
Recommended reading before prompting
Read this companion handout before using the prompt pack. It explains the five sharp thesis-review tests, Output/Outcome, prior attempts, unresolved need, alternatives, and responsible AI-assisted review.
Argument chain to inspect
Problem → prior attempts/evidence → unresolved need → objective/RQ → alternatives → method → result/evidence → output → outcome/by-product → conclusion
Choose a Workflow
Codex / Claude Code / Antigravity
The recommended path for a full thesis review. Let the AI read files in a workspace, organize missing inputs, and create review notes without editing the source thesis first.
AI webapps are for short sections
Use Gemini, ChatGPT, or Claude webapps only for short checks such as title/abstract, a few literature paragraphs, or one method/results section.
