FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a systematic literature review across multiple databases?▼

Automating a systematic literature review is done by querying PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar, and OpenAlex simultaneously. The workflow deduplicates records and extracts metadata to generate reproducible reports.

Can I generate a PRISMA-compliant flow diagram and bibliography for a meta-analysis?▼

Generating a PRISMA-compliant review is fully supported, enforcing citation verification and standardized methodology. It extracts study findings and outputs a formatted bibliography suitable for manuscript submission.

Does this literature review tool work with OpenAlex and PubMed for biomedical and technical domains?▼

Working with OpenAlex and PubMed is explicitly supported for biomedical, scientific, and technical domains. The tool queries these databases to perform comprehensive knowledge synthesis and scoping reviews.

What is the best way to export extracted systematic review data for grant writing?▼

The best way to export systematic review data is generating formatted Markdown and PDF deliverables directly. These outputs include verified citations and key findings structured consistently for grant writing.

How to verify citations and deduplicate records when doing a scoping review?▼

To verify citations and deduplicate records during a scoping review, the automated workflow cross-references multiple data sources. It enforces citation verification and removes duplicate entries before generating the final report.
