Workflow

Step 1: Literature Review and Theoretical Framing

Search SSRN and CrossRef for relevant academic papers on the research topic:

• Keyword and author-based searches across working paper repositories
• Citation network exploration to identify seminal and recent contributions
• Extraction of theoretical frameworks, hypotheses, and methodological approaches
• Identification of gaps in existing literature that motivate the study
• Construction of an annotated bibliography with key findings per source
