Elicit

Elicit automates literature review workflows for researchers — finding relevant papers, extracting key findings, comparing methodology across studies, and summarizing evidence on a research question. It's designed to handle the time-intensive parts of systematic literature review without fully replacing researcher judgment.

Academic researchers, policy analysts, and evidence-based practitioners use Elicit to process large bodies of literature faster than manual review allows. The data extraction feature pulls structured information from papers — sample size, methodology, key outcomes — into a comparable table format.

Elicit works with published academic literature; unpublished research, conference proceedings, and gray literature may be missing. Like any AI extraction tool, it can make errors on methodological details — treating outputs as a starting point for verification, not a final source, is the appropriate use. The free tier allows limited monthly paper processing; paid plans scale for systematic review projects.

Used by academic researchers, policy analysts, and evidence-based practitioners to find papers, extract findings, and compare methodologies across studies at scale.
