Features

Everything LittReview does, in one place — no owned corpus, everything either live from OpenAlex/Semantic Scholar/Crossref or your own contributed content.

Federated search

One query, merged and de-duplicated across nine academic sources - no need to search each database separately and reconcile the results yourself.

Live citation graph

Seed a map with one paper, expand its references and citing papers with a click.

Citation gaps

Finds papers cited by two or more papers already on your map that aren't in the map yet.

List & timeline views

The same map data, sorted by citation count or laid out chronologically.

Compare search

Run one query side-by-side, split into columns by source or by discipline/field.

Abstract-only summaries

A short extractive summary generated from the abstract by our own local pipeline - never a third-party model.

Search and dictate by voice

Speak a search query straight into the search box - runs entirely in your browser.

Saved maps

Save a citation map to your account and come back to it later, exactly as you left it.

Notes & drafting

Write in a full-page document editor, with citations linked directly to specific papers on your map.

Teams & collaboration

Form a team with other users, and write the same draft together - live, in real time.

OCR paper upload

Upload a scan or preprint not well-indexed by the live sources - it's added to your map as a node.

Audio transcription

Upload a lecture, interview, or voice memo - transcribed on our own server, never a third party.

BibTeX import

Upload a .bib file and its entries are added straight into your most recent draft as citations.

Zotero

Connect your Zotero library with a personal API key - push papers to it, or pull it in as seed candidates.

Bring your own AI

Connect your own OpenAI-compatible model endpoint to ask questions about a paper - grounding-checked before it's shown.

AI-generated-text detection

Nine independent statistical/stylometric signals plus a classifier model - advisory only, never a single blended score.

Citation verification

Checks each reference in an uploaded document against the live sources - flags citations that may be fabricated or hard to find.

Profile

Your account home - saved maps, uploads, and account details in one place.

Superadmin

Separate, 2FA-protected credential for site administration - entirely independent of regular accounts.
