Transcript
- The Literature Review Organizer compares the sources you have read.
- Add a label and the abstract or your notes for each source. Here we have two studies on exercise and sleep.
- Then list your themes, and press Organise sources.
- Each source shows the sentences that read like its aim, method, findings and limitations, quoted from your text.
- The theme matrix shows which source covers which theme, and possible gaps and disagreements to read closely.
- Nothing is looked up or added. Download the matrix as a CSV file, or the review as Markdown.
Organise sources for a literature review
Compare the sources you have read: their aims, methods, findings and limitations, which of your themes each covers, and where coverage is thin.
- Add each source: a short label such as “Smith 2021” and its abstract or your notes. You can read the text from a file.
- List your themes, one per line or separated by commas.
- Press Organise sources. Each source shows the sentences that read like its aim, method, findings and limitations.
- Use the theme matrix to see which sources cover each theme, with the sentences that matched.
- Look at the possible gaps and disagreements, then read those papers closely.
- Download the matrix as CSV or the whole review as Markdown.
Each source's aim, method, findings and limitations, a theme matrix, possible gaps and disagreements appear here, quoted from your sources.
