Literature search on the method of peeling onions upside down
This is a systematic approach with a theoretical foundation, not just a simple keyword suggestion tool. But the barrier to entry is so low, it costs as little as a cup of milk tea, so even beginners won't hesitate.

description
Enter a topic phrase, and it automatically breaks down the topic structure using the "onion peeling method" → expands synonyms → generates four-layer search queries (CNKI + WoS/Google Scholar), and provides an execution list and filtering strategy. Applicable to all disciplines, the search queries can be directly pasted and used. 🎯 What pain points does it solve? ❌ Directly entering a whole sentence into the search box → 0 results ❌ Searching for only one keyword → 5000 results with no idea where to start ❌ Not knowing how to break down a topic → No direction in search terms ✅ Enter "Middle-class educational anxiety and shadow education practices" → Output 30+ directly pasteable search queries + a thesaurus + a layered execution list 📐 Core method: The onion peeling method expands from the inside out, from narrow to wide, in three progressively deeper layers—the core layer precisely identifies 4 essential reading articles, the expansion layer finds 48 directly related studies, and the panoramic layer establishes a comprehensive understanding of the field's scope. 🔧 Output includes: • Breakdown of the three elements of topic selection (qualifiers + research unit + research dimension) • 5-8 related concepts for each element + Chinese-English comparison + superordinate/subordinate concepts • First layer: 8 sets of three-element combination search formulas (title → topic, tight → loose) • Second layer: 3 types of two-element pairings (marking core/background uses) • Third layer: Single-element panoramic search formula • Fourth layer: Superordinate concept expansion strategy • 📋 Six-step execution checklist + screening criteria for each layer (highly cited + cutting-edge) 👥 Who is it suitable for? Academic novices, graduate students, young scholars—anyone who needs to systematically conduct literature searches rather than searching keywords based on intuition.
