How it works

From a question to the gap worth studying

Five connected steps in one workspace. Each step builds on the papers you chose in the one before.

Features

Everything a literature review needs, connected

Ask questions about your papers at any step. Answers cite the studies they come from.

  • 01 · Discover

    Search real publications

    Results from OpenAlex with authors, year, journal, citation count, DOI and open-access status. Add the ones you need to a collection.

  • 02 · Research map

    See how papers connect

    An interactive citation network. Open any node to read the details or add it to your project.

  • 03 · Review matrix

    A literature matrix that builds itself

    Objectives, theories, methods, samples, findings and limitations, side by side. Each cell says whether it came from the abstract or the full text.

  • 04 · Synthesis

    Synthesis, not a pile of summaries

    Common themes, conflicting evidence, frequent frameworks and shared limitations across the studies you selected.

  • 05 · Gap finder

    Gaps, with the evidence behind them

    Theoretical, methodological, geographical and population gaps, each with an explanation and possible research questions.

  • 06 · Gap validation

    Check a gap before you commit

    Noetira runs fresh searches and tells you whether new results support or challenge the gap.
