AI Productivity & Research Workflows
Publication context
Simulation walkthrough and methodology discussion; verify reported plots against the original model files.
Model architecture and components
- goal and audience definition for each prompt
- context documents and constraints
- editable project outlines and checklists
- review workflow for generated text, code and deliverables
Recommended simulation methodology
- Begin with a small example request and define desired output format and success criteria.
- Create a reusable instruction or project context that separates facts from assumptions.
- Compare first-pass responses with clarified prompts and assess accuracy.
- Verify references, generated code and numerical claims independently before use in research work.
Scopes, plots and evidence to validate
- task specification and prompt variants
- quality rubric and revision notes
- traceability from input to artifact
- citation and fact-checking checklist
- privacy and confidentiality considerations
Research novelty and interpretation
Teaches measurable prompt iteration and review instead of presenting AI output as automatically correct or ready for academic submission.
When comparing control or modelling strategies, keep plant parameters, external disturbances and measurement windows identical. Any gain, loss or accuracy figure should be derived from the recorded simulation or measurement, not inferred from the project title.

What distinguishes this project from a generic simulation?
Teaches measurable prompt iteration and review instead of presenting AI output as automatically correct or ready for academic submission.
Which plots should be included in the results section?
At minimum, report task specification and prompt variants, quality rubric and revision notes and traceability from input to artifact. Include baseline and sensitivity cases where applicable.
How should I verify the implementation?
Document model versions, initialization, numerical settings, units, boundary conditions and controlled comparisons. Treat any interpretation as provisional until plots and source models have been checked.
