Traditional literature reviews require manually sorting through papers, taking notes, and comparing scattered data—slow and error-prone.

Paperguide's Literature Review tool simplifies this by organizing findings in a customizable table, making trend analysis and gap identification easy. Powered by AI, it helps you gather key findings, methodologies, conclusions and more insigths from relevant research.

How it works?

Literature Review presents your results in a customizable table format that lets you compare and analyze papers in unprecedented detail.

✅ Automatically extract key details – We provide columns (e.g., study outcome, demographics, methodology and more..)

✅ Customize your table – Add columns to extract exactly what you need

✅ Instantly analyze – Identify trends, patterns, and gaps in research at a glance

1. Ask Question

From your Paperguide Home page, navigate to the Literature Review tab.
Enter a detailed research question or topic (up to 50 words) in the search bar . The more specific you are, the more precise and useful the results will be.
- Example Questions: "What are the recent advancements in AI healthcare applications?" "How has climate change impacted biodiversity in the last decade?"

2. Review the Generated Results

Based on your question and selected source, Paperguide will searches through Paperguide's extensive research database of 200 million+ academic papers and provide the 10 most relevant papers (5 papers for non-subscribed) related to your topic.

Summary Generation: Paperguide will provide a concise summary of your research question, generated from the key insights found in these top 10 papers.
Alongside the summary, Paperguide will create a Literature Review Table that includes Paper details and columns to compare and analyze the papers.

3. How to Add & Customize Columns (Extract Data)
