Academic Citation Finder Brief

Create a structured research brief to guide a systematic search for academic citations on the topic: [RESEARCH_TOPIC]. The citation search is for: [PURPOSE — e.g., a literature review / a white paper / a grant application]. Required citation types: [CITATION_TYPES — e.g., peer-reviewed journals, meta-analyses, systematic reviews]. Date range: [DATE_RANGE — e.g., 2015–present]. Include: (1) 10–15 specific search queries optimized for Google Scholar, PubMed, or JSTOR using Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) and field tags, (2) A list of the top 5–8 most relevant academic journals in this field to search directly, (3) Key authors or research groups known to publish in this area: [KNOWN_AUTHORS], (4) Inclusion criteria — 4 specific criteria a study must meet to be included, (5) Exclusion criteria — 3 criteria that disqualify a study, (6) A suggested citation management workflow using [CITATION_TOOL — e.g., Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote]. Format all Boolean search strings in code blocks for easy copy-paste.
