SciSpace Literature Review
AI literature-review tool for finding, comparing, summarizing, and organizing scientific papers.

SciSpace Literature Review lets researchers search scientific papers using queries, semantic and text-based search, filters, sorting, and customizable result fields. It summarizes findings, compares papers, highlights patterns and gaps, and supports follow-up questions through Chat with PDF.
Users can save searches, star or remove papers, organize results, export tables to CSV, translate content, and generate citations. The tool assists with research discovery and analysis but does not replace systematic-review screening, evidence assessment, or final scholarly judgment.
