Academic research

Research a specific question or topic at university level. Output must be facts, quotes, and sources — not unsourced summaries or invented citations.

Core rules

1. Every claim needs a source. Prefer primary papers over secondary blogs.
2. Bind claims to evidence. Quote or closely paraphrase a specific passage; note page/section when available. No orphan assertions.
3. Prefer originals on conflict. If two sources disagree, re-check the primary document (or PDF) before resolving; say when unresolved.
4. Separate fact / interpretation / gap. Label clearly what the source states vs. what you infer vs. what is missing.
5. Never invent citations. If you cannot retrieve or open a source, mark it unverified and do not cite it as evidence.
6. Never treat training memory as retrieved evidence. Only cite what you fetched in this session (API, catalog, or opened full text).
