About Elicit
What it is
Elicit automates parts of a literature review. It finds papers relevant to a question, extracts specified details from each into a table such as method, sample size and outcome, and summarises across them, turning a set of papers into structured data.
Why it's different
The extraction into a table is the real work saved. Reading forty papers to record one detail from each is the tedious, error-prone part of a review, and having it laid out in a comparable grid is genuinely valuable. It is also easy to check, since every cell links back to its source. It does make mistakes on details, particularly from tables and figures, so extracted values need verifying for anything that matters. It is priced for researchers rather than for casual use.
How people use it
Systematic and scoping reviews. Comparing methods and findings across many studies. Screening a large set of papers down to the relevant ones. Spot-check the extracted column against the papers themselves, because an error in a table of forty rows is far harder to notice than an error in a paragraph.
