SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Doctoral learners often struggle to see how their study's constructs, theories, and research questions connect, leading to logical gaps and disconnected arguments in the dissertation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Construct Extraction: Identifies 5-12 key concepts from the study and designates an anchor concept. - Relationship Mapping: Classifies connections as causal, moderating, mediating, associative, constitutive, sequential, or contextual. - Gap Analysis: Detects implied but undefined relationships and unconnected constructs. - Use Case: A doctoral candidate studying servant leadership and faculty retention uses this Skill to produce an indented textual map linking constructs to research questions, plus a visual description ready for Lucidchart or draw.io. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a concept map of the key constructs in your dissertation study and show how they relate to your research questions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a concept map for my dissertation?▼

Start by listing 5-12 key constructs from your study, identify the central anchor concept, then define how each construct relates to the anchor and to each other. The Skill produces an indented textual map with labeled relationships and a visual description for diagram tools.

What types of relationships go in a concept map?▼

Concept maps use causal, moderating, mediating, associative, constitutive, sequential, and contextual relationships. Each connection is labeled with language like 'leads to', 'is moderated by', or 'is a dimension of' to make the logic explicit.

Can a concept map help align my research questions?▼

Yes, the mapping process connects each research question to specific construct relationships on the map. This reveals whether your RQs accurately reflect the constructs and exposes gaps where questions lack theoretical grounding.

How many concepts should a dissertation concept map include?▼

Keep the map to 5-12 key concepts; more than 12 becomes unmanageable and obscures the core argument. One concept should serve as the anchor that everything else relates to.

Can I convert a textual concept map into a visual diagram?▼

Yes, the Skill generates a visual description written as instructions for a graphic designer. You can hand this description to tools like Lucidchart, draw.io, Canva, or PowerPoint to produce the actual diagram.
