Review Paper Coaching
A guided coaching programme that helps researchers move from reading academic papers to developing a clear review paper blueprint through structured conversation, critical thinking and responsible use of AI-assisted research tools.
Learn through a guided example.
The three-hour group coaching uses a review topic selected by Dr. Sue. Participants observe the thinking process, discussion, reading, verification and blueprint development before applying the approach to their own work.
Knowing the topic is not always the same as knowing how to write the paper.
Many researchers have collected papers and understand their general research area but still struggle to connect the literature, identify a meaningful direction and organise the discussion into a coherent review paper.
-
?
Unsure where to begin after collecting many academic papers.
-
?
Reading individual studies without seeing the larger research conversation.
-
?
Finding themes, gaps and patterns but not knowing how to connect them.
-
?
Receiving fluent AI-generated text that does not truly represent the intended argument.
-
?
Starting to write before developing a clear structure and direction.
Do not begin by asking AI to write. Begin by building understanding.
Review Paper Coaching is grounded in a simple belief: meaningful academic writing cannot be produced by outsourcing the thinking process. AI can support exploration, discussion and organisation but the researcher must continue to read, evaluate, decide and lead.
From conversation to a clear review paper blueprint
Instead of relying on one large instruction, participants learn how to develop ideas progressively through a connected sequence of questions, reading, verification and decision-making.
Explore
Begin with the research interest, prior knowledge and questions that need to be understood.
Converse
Use a structured conversation with AI to clarify concepts, assumptions and possible directions.
Read and Verify
Return to the literature, examine the evidence and verify ideas using the actual sources.
Filter and Connect
Remove what is irrelevant, add human input and connect the ideas according to the research context.
Build the Blueprint
Organise the emerging themes, argument and paper structure before moving into full writing.
A thinking process, not a shortcut
The session introduces a practical way to work with ChatGPT, Gemini Notebook, formerly known as NotebookLM and academic sources while maintaining researcher responsibility throughout the process.
Build a Productive Conversation
Learn how connected questions can develop context and deepen understanding more effectively than a single instruction.
Read with a Clear Purpose
Move beyond collecting papers by identifying what each source contributes to the larger research conversation.
Identify Themes and Connections
Explore recurring concepts, relationships, tensions and patterns across the selected literature.
Apply Human Judgement
Evaluate AI responses and decide what is accurate, relevant, meaningful and suitable for the research context.
Organise the Review
Translate emerging ideas into a logical sequence of sections rather than disconnected summaries of individual papers.
Prepare for Writing
Develop a practical blueprint that provides direction for the introduction, thematic discussion and overall paper argument.
You will leave with a review paper blueprint.
The intended outcome is not an instantly completed manuscript. It is a clearer understanding of the topic, a structured direction and a workable blueprint that the researcher can continue to develop after the session.
- Provisional review focus
- Research purpose and guiding questions
- Key themes and relationships
- Possible research gaps
- Proposed section structure
- Clear next steps for reading and writing
One coaching session plus one complimentary repeat session
Review paper writing becomes clearer when participants have the opportunity to revisit the process after they have had time to reflect, read and connect the learning to their own work.
Choose your main session and return once to revisit the learning.
The RM99 fee includes one three-hour live coaching session and one complimentary repeat session. Participants may repeat the same coaching content during another announced session.
Each session is limited to a maximum of ten new participants. Repeat participants may rejoin as returning learners and do not take the allocated places for new participants.
The repeat session is intended for listening, revisiting the process and strengthening understanding. Availability follows the announced coaching schedule.

Review Paper Coaching | Intake 1
A small-group coaching experience designed to guide participants through the thinking, analysis and writing process behind a meaningful review paper.
A learning approach developed through practice and reflection
Review Paper Coaching is facilitated by Ts. Dr. Suhailah Mohamed Noor, Founder of Prompt Academy. The coaching reflects her continuing exploration of how researchers can work with AI-assisted research tools without allowing AI to replace knowledge, critical thinking and human judgement.
Her approach does not begin with a fixed collection of prompts. It begins with conversation, contextual understanding and questions that emerge naturally from the learning process. AI supports the exploration while the researcher remains responsible for reading, verification, interpretation and academic decisions.

Before joining the coaching
Will I complete my review paper during the session?
No. The session focuses on developing understanding, direction and a review paper blueprint. Participants will need to continue reading, verifying and writing after the coaching.
Does the three-hour coaching use my own topic?
The shared three-hour coaching uses a review topic selected by Dr. Sue as the learning example. Participants learn by observing and practising the process. Individual guidance based on your own topic is included in the Plus and Pro options.
What is included in the One + One offer?
The RM99 fee includes one three-hour live coaching session and one complimentary opportunity to repeat the same coaching content during another announced session.
Does the repeat session take a place from a new participant?
No. Each session is limited to a maximum of ten new participants. Repeat participants return as previous learners and do not take the allocated places for new participants.
What is the difference between Plus and Pro?
Plus includes one hour of Personal Coaching based on your own review paper topic. Pro includes two hours, allowing more time for refinement, discussion and planning.
How will Personal Coaching be scheduled?
Personal Coaching is arranged individually after registration is confirmed. The participant and Dr. Sue will agree on a suitable date and time through WhatsApp.
Do I need to have a research topic?
A general research interest or preliminary topic is helpful. The topic does not need to be perfectly finalised but participants should have an area they would like to explore.
Is this a systematic literature review workshop?
The coaching introduces a thinking and development process for review paper writing. It is not presented as full methodological training for every type of systematic review protocol.
Will ready-made prompts be provided?
Guiding questions and conversation starters may be provided to support the learning session. However, the emphasis is not on copying a fixed prompt. Participants learn how questions develop according to their own topic, knowledge and research context.
Which AI tools are used?
The current learning approach uses ChatGPT for structured conversation and idea development together with Gemini Notebook, formerly known as NotebookLM, for source-grounded exploration of uploaded academic papers. These tools support the research process but never replace reading, critical thinking or researcher judgement.
Choose a session that fits your schedule.
Three coaching dates will be announced for each intake, including an evening, morning and afternoon option. Select your preferred main session and return once through the complimentary repeat offer.
Personal Coaching for Plus and Pro is arranged separately through WhatsApp after registration is confirmed.
