Turn the papers you've read into a Chapter 2 outline
For EdD and PhD students writing the literature review chapter. Upload up to 40 PDFs and your bibliography: we pull verbatim evidence with page numbers, map the themes your library covers, flag papers you may have missed, and build a chapter outline you can check line by line.
You write the chapter; every point shows its source page. Beta: re-run or full refund if something fails on our side; $20 back within 7 days if you are not satisfied.
An outline built from your own library
Not another search box and not a ghostwriter. Lit Review Outline works with the papers you already have and shows you where every point comes from.
Verbatim evidence with page numbers
Quotes are matched back to the text of your PDFs. Anything that could not be matched exactly is labeled for you to check.
A theme map of your library
See which topics your papers cover, plus papers you may have missed within the search scope you set. The search terms are shown, so you can report them.
A Chapter 2 skeleton
Introduction, literature search strategy, theoretical framework candidates found in your PDFs, thematic sections with key points, agreements and tensions, and gaps to verify.
Word and Excel exports
A Word outline with APA 7 references and an Excel literature review matrix, ready for you to write from. Any AI-suggested wording is labeled for reference only.
How it works
Four steps, one project:

Upload what you've read

- 2
Review the theme map
Topics your library covers, coverage signals and one round of suggested papers, each with its reason.
- 3
Confirm the structure
Pick and order the themes that become your sections.
- 4
Get the outline and matrix
Check each point against its source page, then export to Word and Excel.
