Our quick verdict
A serious research workflow when the job is evidence gathering across papers, with human verification of extraction and interpretation.
What is Elicit?
Elicit offers paper discovery, data extraction, research reports, and systematic-review support. Its help center also documents export paths to PDF, Word, spreadsheets, and reference managers.
Where it fits
Literature scan
Map the evidence and identify which papers deserve full reading.
Review preparation
Extract comparable study characteristics into a table.
What stands out
Paper search
Find relevant studies around a research question.
Structured extraction
Compare fields across papers instead of relying on loose summaries.
Export routes

What to check before choosing
- Read the underlying papers; extraction and summaries can omit context or misread a result.
- Document the search scope, inclusion criteria, and human checks when the review will support a consequential decision.
A useful first test
Use a narrow question with papers you already know, then compare search coverage and five extracted claims with the originals.
