Short answer: prefer Claude for long-context literature reviews when preserving inline citations; use ChatGPT if you need broader ecosystem/tooling support.
Quick checklist:
- Chunk each paper and attach metadata (title, authors, DOI).
- Prompt for structured outputs (per-paper annotated summary + exact citation strings or BibTeX).
- Use RAG (embeddings + vector DB) to query across many papers.
- Programmatically verify quotes/DOIs against source PDFs.
