2. Research the topic - Library databases like EBSCO. 

3. Have AI summarize and outline the articles. (ChatPDF)

4. Read all the summaries and choose which articles to read completely. 

5. Have AI create an outline for the paper with main- and sub-topics. (ChatBot or Goblin Tools)

6. Take notes as you read your list of articles as to key thoughts, ideas, and specific quotes along with which section they would fit in your outline. (Notion)

7. Have AI create a list of several thesis statements for your paper and choose one.  (ChatBot)

9. Read the entire paper, save it, and then ask the AI to review the paper for flow, grammar, style, etc. (Stipulate that you don’t want the AI to correct or rewrite anything directly, but to provide detailed explanations as to why something is wrong and possible options on how to correct those issues). (Grammarly or ChatBot)

10. Go through all the notes and make any corrections you think should be changed. (The idea is for you to learn to be a better writer and avoid these mistakes in the future.)

11. Repeat 9 and 10 as many times as necessary. 

12. Review all citations and references to ensure they are correct for the required style. 

13. Review the paper for your final draft. (Grammarly)
