In their own words
Lit Mind Maps
Lit Mind Maps is a web tool for Masters and PhD students conducting literature searches and evidence mapping. Users enter a research question in plain language or provide a paper title or DOI. The service returns cited answers based on retrieved academic papers, then places those papers in a three-branch literature mind map and idea timeline. Branch sets can be changed before another search. A citation map displays a seed paper, its references and citing papers as bubbles arranged by year and citation count. Five optional answer sets address definition, mechanism, evidence, effects and comparison, with three branches each. After signing in and searching, users can download a Word starting draft for a literature review or proposal. Records come from Semantic Scholar. Searches use titles, abstracts and metadata rather than every paper’s full text. The service describes results as a starting aid and advises checking papers.
