Replace the ${…} placeholders with your values before using this prompt. See parameters and defaults below.

Using Consensus, critically search peer-reviewed literature on ${research-topic}, focusing on ${population-context}. Find relevant articles from the most recent ${recent-years:10} years, and also identify highly cited peer-reviewed articles and seminal work by renowned scholars in the field. Include valuable seminal work published before the recent-year window when relevant, and consider emerging scholars whose work spans ${emerging-scholar-window:10–15 years}. Do not restrict the search to only the most recent five years or exclude important sources solely because of their age. Use critical judgment when selecting sources. For each result, provide the article title, authors, publication year, citation information when available, and a brief explanation of its relevance to the topic and focus.
