What a modern literature review tool should deliver
Graduate researchers are flooded with “AI research” products. Many stop at discovery: search results, citation graphs, or chatbot summaries. A complete literature review tool should also support the thesis workflow—structuring the question, accounting for what was searched and excluded, and drafting Introduction–Methods–Results–Discussion–Conclusion in a form you can take to supervision.
PICO decomposition
Population, Intervention, Control, Outcome extracted from your question—so Methods is specific, not vague.
200M+ paper index
Search runs on Semantic Scholar’s academic graph. Large domain identification, then successive filters.
PRISMA-style funnel
Real exclusion counts at each PICO stage. Honest abstract-level scoping—not a fake “13 of 13 included.”
IMRaD + diagrams
Full review prose, literature mind map, conceptual diagram, APA 7 citations, Word & PDF export.
How Lit Mind Maps works
- Ask — one research question in plain language.
- Plan — a frontier orchestrator designs PICO, funnel queries, lenses, and section outlines.
- Search — a completion model executes Semantic Scholar search and records exclusions.
- Write — IMRaD package with mind map and conceptual model under that plan.
- Download — Word (.docx) and print-ready PDF for campus meetings.
Who this literature review software is for
- Masters students drafting a scoping or state-of-the-art chapter
- PhD candidates mapping a domain before full-text systematic screening
- Supervisors who want students to show a transparent methods funnel
- Researchers who outgrew one-shot chatbot literature “reviews”
