Literature review prompt and problem with data sources

I have been using Afforai to make literature reviews for my research. Very good experience (though not perfect). I think I’ve cracked the right prompts because the results I am getting are relevant and accurate. For context, this is the main prompt I am using in Semantic Research mode: “You are an experienced scholar specialized in [research area(s)], and you are well equipped to carry out interdisciplinary research of the highest level as necessary. Provide a literature review for my next research. My next research is about [description of your research and research question]. In your literature review, provide the five most cited academic sources you can find for this research niche. Dig deep. Propose only the most cited and most relevant sources. Separately, provide the most cited academic sources by momentum (i.e. the most cited sources relative to their recency of publication).“ I have added this prompt to the library: https://manuelsanchez.notion.site/Prompt-library-for-Afforai-based-research-c13e50c15bc8405f9a7c9ce562375ee8

From here, I am using follow-up prompts to dig deeper as needed.

However, and this is the main reason I am creating this post, I am noticing the data sources Afforai is listing at the end of each response, have nothing to do with the literature review being provided. To be more specific: Afforai is providing a great literature review based on the prompt above; this literature review can be read in the conversation area of the chat. However, underneath each response, Afforai is citing different data sources to the ones included in the literature review. In this photo, you will see the academic sources provided by Afforai in its literature review response:


Compare these sources to the data sources listed at the end of this response. You will notice that they are completely different sources:


I wonder why. I wonder how to solve this. I am using the Semantic Scholar mode. I am finding the data sources irrelevant/useless for this exercise. 

If anyone has any feedback, it would be great to hear your thoughts.

As far as problems with links in references: 
Manuel, I’ve also received useless links to semantic scholar many a time. I suspect Afforai sometimes presents links to other manuscripts, because (perhaps) they were on the same webpage somewhere (similar to how Google looks for pages with mention of the same thing). Or, worse, the AI is hallucinating.   

Jagan Mohan Thank you, that sounds like a very sensible approach.

I would break your prompt down. 

Collect all possible related literature and get the AI to summarise EACH of them separately

Once each are summarised, then get the AI to review them in pairs, groups and all together, focussing on a theme - 

Prompt: Review this set of 10 papers with a focus on the methodology and statistical analysis. Also a paragraph comparison on the conclusions. Add your own implications in relation to our study.
