List of prompts used
| Phase | Prompt used |
|---|---|
| Phase 2 – initial screening of the abstracts | You are provided with a file containing a list of research papers extracted from indexed databases. The columns include |
| Column A: Authors | |
| Column B: Title | |
| Column C: Authors’ keywords | |
| Column D: Indexed keywords | |
| Column E: Abstract | |
| Your task | |
| In Column F, indicate whether the paper is related to the use of AI-powered tools in procurement/supply chain (including commonly used synonyms or alternatives such as machine learning, deep learning, predictive analytics, etc.). Use Yes or No | |
| In Column G, provide a brief justification (2–3 sentences) explaining your decision, based on the title, keywords, and abstract | |
| Phase 2 – analysis of full papers (each of the three iterations separately) | You are provided with a file containing a list of research papers extracted from indexed databases |
| Table A: Contains descriptions of strategic steps (S1–S5) and operational steps (O1–O5) in purchasing | |
| Table B: Contains the following columns | |
| Column A: Authors | |
| Column B: Title | |
| Column C: Authors’ keywords | |
| Column D: Indexed keywords | |
| Column E: Abstract | |
| Column F: Findings | |
| Your task | |
| Review each paper and determine which step it corresponds to (S1–S5 for strategic purchasing or O1–O5 for operational purchasing) based on its primary focus. Enter the assigned step in Column G for the respective row | |
| Provide a brief justification (2–3 sentences) in Column H, explaining why you assigned that step, using evidence from the title, keywords, abstract, and findings. Use an interpretative approach grounded in domain knowledge, conceptual understanding, and thematic inference. Rely on qualitative reasoning and conceptual alignment between the thematic focus of each paper and the definitions of the procurement process steps | |
| Phase 3 – reporting | You are provided with a file containing a list of research papers we analysed |
| Table A: Contains descriptions of strategic steps (S1–S5) and operational steps (O1–O5) in purchasing | |
| Table B: Contains the following columns | |
| Column A: Authors | |
| Column B: Title | |
| Column C: Authors’ keywords | |
| Column D: Indexed keywords | |
| Column E: Abstract | |
| Column F: Findings | |
| Column G: Decision on which step of procurement the paper relates to Column H: Justification for the alignment | |
| Your task | |
| Review all papers in Table B and identify thematic issues and emerging trends across the studies. Group the papers according to their focus and distinctive features. Provide a structured summary of these themes and trends, highlighting patterns, gaps, and notable directions in the research |
