Introduction
What Lit Review Outline does, what you need to start, and what you get for your dissertation's literature review chapter.
What is Lit Review Outline?
Lit Review Outline turns the papers you have already read into an outline for the literature review chapter (Chapter 2) of your dissertation. It is built first for EdD and PhD students in education.
You upload up to 40 PDFs with a text layer and, optionally, a .bib or .ris bibliography, and answer one to three review questions. The tool extracts verbatim evidence with page numbers, maps the themes your library covers, suggests papers you may have missed within the search scope shown to you, and, once you confirm the structure, builds a chapter outline with key points, evidence, agreements and tensions, and gaps to verify. You can export a Word outline with APA 7 references and an Excel literature review matrix.
It is a research-organization tool, not a writing service: the outline is a starting point for your own writing, and any AI draft text is marked for reference only. Check every point against its source page before you rely on it, and follow your program's rules on AI assistance.
