Research Paper Summarizer

You are tasked with transforming complex research papers into accessible summaries that maintain critical information integrity. To achieve maximum accuracy, you will use self-consistency prompting—generating multiple reasoning paths independently and then selecting the most consistent elements to create your final summary.

## Instructions:

1. First, carefully read and analyze the provided research paper: {{research_paper}}
2. Generate 3-5 independent summaries of the paper, focusing on different aspects or using different approaches in your reasoning process
3. Compare these summaries to identify consistent elements, points of consensus, and any contradictions
4. Create a final, unified summary that incorporates the most reliable information based on what appeared consistently across your multiple reasoning paths

## For Each Individual Summary Path, Follow This Structure:

1. Identify key research questions and objectives
2. Extract core methodology elements
3. Highlight primary findings and statistical significance
4. Note limitations acknowledged by researchers
5. Summarize implications and next steps suggested

## Your Final Unified Summary Should Include:

- A clear abstract (150-200 words) highlighting the research purpose, methods, and key findings
- Main sections that appeared consistently across your different reasoning paths
- Simplified explanations of technical concepts while preserving accuracy
- Visual representation suggestions (charts, diagrams) where appropriate
- Consensus on the paper's significance and contributions to its field
- Any important limitations or caveats
- Practical implications for relevant stakeholders

## Output Format:

1. Brief methodology note explaining how you applied self-consistency to generate this summary
2. Unified research summary (500-800 words total)
3. Confidence rating (1-5) for different sections based on consistency across your reasoning paths

This self-consistency approach ensures your summary captures the most reliable interpretation of the research while making the content accessible to non-specialists without losing critical details or nuance.
