Most students/early researchers are using the wrong tools for their systematic review.
A systematic review without the right tools is academic self-sabotage.
If your workflow is weak, the process becomes 10x harder.
Hereโs the stack to get started with:
๐ Literature discovery
โโโ-
โ R Discovery
โ SciSpace
โ Research Rabbit
โ Litmaps
โ Connected Papers
โ Elicit
โ Semantic AI
โค Bohrium
โค Consensus
โค AnswerThis (YC F25)
Remember these are not replacement for your traditional reproducible search strategies
โโโโโ-
๐ Reference management
โ Zotero
โ EndNote
โ Mendeley
โค Refworks
โโโ-
๐ Screening & data management
โ Rayyan
โ Covidence

The research process is already hard.
Donโt make it harder by ignoring tools to streamline your workflows.
