SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Collects and organizes dispersed paper notes into a coherent literature review by scoring relevance, identifying redundancy, and synthesizing a narrative.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scores each paper (1-5) by relevance and assigns inclusion tiers.
  • Detects redundancy clusters and groups notes by subtopic.
  • Generates shortened summaries and a synthesized narrative in articles/literature_organized.md.
  • Works from sources such as articles/split_/notes.md, articles/scanned_/notes.md, and a master skim file (paper_skims.md).

Quick Start

Run the lit-organizer on your paper notes directory to generate articles/literature_organized.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize literature notes into a coherent review?

To organize literature notes into a coherent review, this process scores each paper by relevance, groups notes by subtopic, detects redundancy clusters, and generates a synthesized narrative output in articles/literature_organized.md.

What is the best way to synthesize academic research notes by subtopic?

Synthesizing academic research notes by subtopic involves assigning inclusion tiers to sources, identifying overlapping content clusters, and generating shortened summaries to produce a cohesive literature review document.

Do I need a master skim file to calculate relevance scores for a literature review?

Yes, calculating relevance scores for a literature review requires a master skim file (paper_skims.md) and a notes corpus under articles/ to properly score papers and assign inclusion tiers.

Can I use this to detect redundancy across multiple paper notes?

Yes, you can detect redundancy across multiple paper notes by processing sources like split and scanned notes to identify redundancy clusters and flag gaps in your collected literature corpus.

What limitations exist when organizing a notes corpus for academic research?

A limitation when organizing a notes corpus is that the synthesis requires specific pre-existing source files such as articles/scanned_*/notes.md and a master skim file; without these structured inputs, it cannot generate the literature review.
