How suggestions are created

The interactive tool uses generative AI to transform a user’s stated interests into possible research directions. Context such as scope and complexity helps shape the output.

Worked guidance

The examples on our subject pages are curated separately. They demonstrate useful patterns: a defined population or system, a bounded context, an observable relationship or problem, and a scope that can be investigated.

Limitations

The tool does not conduct a complete literature review, verify originality, guarantee access to data, or replace ethics and supervisor review. Generated claims and references should be independently checked.

A responsible workflow

  1. Generate several starting points.
  2. Search recent scholarly literature.
  3. Identify what is already known and what remains uncertain.
  4. Check available time, data, skills, and approvals.
  5. Refine the topic with an instructor or supervisor.
