Group your 4,789 resources by theme , not by author. (e.g., "Economic Perspectives" vs. "Social Perspectives").

To help you turn those 4,789 resources into a coherent paper, we need to move from a "mountain of data" to a "structured argument." Since I don't have the specific topic or the resource list, I’ve drafted a universal framework you can use to organize your thoughts and start writing. 1. The Filter (Narrowing the Scope)

Define the problem, state the significance, and end with your thesis.

What is the one specific question you are answering? A good thesis should be a "claim" that someone could reasonably argue against.

Help the reader navigate the resources by using phrases like "In contrast to Smith (2023)..." or "Building on the work of Jones..."

Summarize the findings and suggest what needs to happen next. 4. Drafting Tips
