Themes
Complete a source title, key finding, and source note to add it to the theme matrix.
Step 1 · Organize your sources
Literature Review Matrix Generator
Add a source, fill in your reading notes, and assign a theme. A new browser starts with an empty matrix; an existing draft opens automatically. This tool organizes what you enter and does not fetch papers or generate findings.
Export a cited table when ready, then build your outline. For spreadsheet work, download a blank Excel or CSV template. For guidance, read the completed example.
Source-grounded desk
Literature Review Matrix Generator
Start with papers you have read. Your working matrix is saved in this browser; download a JSON backup to keep a separate copy. Need guidance? Read a completed, cited example.
Export-ready rows: 0. Needs details: 0. Rows with a duplicate DOI or URL: 0. Only user-entered rows with a title, key finding, and citation, DOI, URL, or library note are included in outline and CSV exports. Sample details and page or quote notes stay attached when provided.
No source rows yet. Add a source to start a new evidence matrix.
Outline
Your citation-backed outline will appear here.
CSV exports completed, unique source rows. JSON backups preserve all rows, including unfinished notes, and can be imported here. CSV and Excel files are for spreadsheet editing and are not accepted by the backup importer.
