Saved in this browser only, never uploaded. Export a CSV to keep a copy or open it in Excel or Google Sheets.
Each row is one paper, book, or report: who wrote it and when, and its title.
Note each source's aim, method, sample or data, key findings, limitations, and how it relates to your own work. Reading down a column shows where studies agree, differ, or leave gaps.
Download a CSV to open in Excel or Google Sheets, or import a CSV later to carry on.
A table that summarizes your sources side by side, also called a synthesis matrix. It helps you write a review organized by theme rather than one paragraph per paper.
Yes, in this browser's local storage, so it's still there next time. It isn't synced between devices; export a CSV to move or back it up.
The same headers the export uses, such as "Source (author, year)" and "Key findings". Columns with other names are ignored.
No. The matrix lives in your browser, and CSV files are read and written locally.
