What it is

Elicit searches over 138 million papers, then lets you screen results against criteria and pull structured data from each paper into custom columns, with every claim linked to a quote from the source. It is built for systematic reviews and research teams rather than quick answers. The workflow is rigid, and features like large screening runs and many extraction columns are locked to the pricier Pro and Scale plans.

Standout capability

Structured data extraction from hundreds of papers into a spreadsheet-like table with quote-level citations.

Community sentiment

What people praise

Users say it is excellent for organising and screening papers when their workflow fits its structured approach.

What people complain about

The same structure feels frustrating and rigid when a project does not match Elicit's prescribed steps.
