About Elicit

Elicit is an AI-powered research automation tool built specifically for systematic literature reviews and evidence synthesis. Rather than simply searching for papers, Elicit can analyze thousands of documents in parallel, extracting specific data points — sample sizes, intervention types, outcome measures, statistical results — into structured tables that would take research teams weeks to compile manually. The bulk paper analysis feature makes it practical for systematic reviews that need to process hundreds of studies consistently. A concept mapping feature visualizes how ideas and findings cluster across bodies of literature. Data extraction templates let researchers define exactly what information to pull from each paper, ensuring consistency across the review. Zotero integration connects Elicit to established academic reference management workflows. CSV export produces analysis-ready datasets. The platform has been widely adopted in medicine, social science, and policy research where evidence synthesis from large literature bodies is a core methodological requirement.
