Add a row or load the example to start your matrix.

The matrix organizes evidence; it does not decide whether a source is correct, credible, or sufficient for your field.

Why use a matrix

Remember the limits, not only the titles.

A literature review becomes easier to reason about when each source is connected to a specific claim, method, result, and limitation. The matrix makes disagreement and missing evidence visible before they disappear into a paragraph.

Strength labels are intentionally yours to set. The tool organizes evidence without claiming to measure source credibility or replace disciplinary judgment.

A repeatable workflow

From reading notes to a defensible draft

  1. Load the sample or import your existing table.
  2. Add one claim or research question per row.
  3. Record the result and limitation in plain language.
  4. Filter rows needing review and export the matrix.

Keep the full writing workflow close.

When your evidence map becomes a draft, use AI Detector on iPhone or Android for file import, image scanning, history, and focused revision.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about Evidence Matrix

Does the matrix upload my research notes?

No. Rows stay in your browser. Export files are created on your device. Only a separate service you choose to use, such as a public DOI lookup, would require a network request.

What belongs in an evidence matrix?

Use one row for each claim or research question, then record the source, year, method, finding, limitation, and your confidence in the evidence.

Can I import an existing table?

Yes. The import panel accepts tab-separated or pipe-separated rows. The first seven columns map to claim, source, year, method, finding, limitation, and strength.

Does a strong label mean the source is true?

No. Strength is your review label, not an automated credibility verdict. Check the study design, context, sample, limitations, and the source itself.
