Review your papers and find gaps

Read across your library at once: what the papers agree on, where they disagree, what is missing.

Step 1: Open a project and choose Review

You need at least 3 papers. An overview written from fewer would be guesswork, so it refuses rather than pretending.

Step 2: Click "Write an overview"

It reads only the papers YOU have saved — never the wider internet, and never a paper you do not have.

Step 3: Follow the sources

Every statement has a "sources" button showing which of your papers it came from. Anything that cannot be attributed is dropped rather than shown to you.

Step 4: Read the disagreements first

Where your papers conflict is usually the most useful part of a literature review, so it has its own section.

Step 5: Try "Find candidate gaps"

This proposes what is missing from YOUR set of papers, with a way to check each one.

Step 6: Treat gaps as questions, not facts

They are candidates to verify, never findings. A gap named here may already be filled by work you have not found yet — always check before building on it.
