One option that shouldn't be overlooked: get a temporary subscription to an OpenAI model that allows you to run what they originally called "deep research" (nowadays called "Extended Pro" mode.) This isn't available on the freebie chat page, it will require at least a $20/month subscription (and maybe more, not sure.)

Then, basically paste your post into the prompt and let it crunch. It will take up to 30 minutes or so, and will often give you a reasonably comprehensive report in which most of the references actually exist. It is absolutely a better-Google-than-Google class of resource.

I'll do that and see if it comes up with anything meaningful, and also try it on Gemini 3.1. For a query like this I wouldn't expect it to return a list of thousands of individual reports, but it might give you some good leads that you can follow up with your existing journal access.

Thanks. I've got an OpenAI subscription and tried this in the past, and got a handful of results, but nothing comprehensive. Perhaps it is better now, or I could change the way I ask.
No prob, see if there's anything useful in any of the links I added to the post. I'm always interested in good benchmarks and test cases, as I usually don't have enough of my own to justify my expensive pro subscriptions. (I did not review them myself as I don't know what I'm looking at.)
