What is Elicit?
Elicit organizes literature findings using research questions, helping users locate evidence in academic papers and other research sources without having to master all the keywords upfront. The Research Agent can combine public data with uploaded documents to compile reports, tables, and other outputs complete with citations.
The systematic literature review workflow supports screening and data extraction, and the research report can be customized to specify the scope of included studies and information. The Library is used to store sources, while Routines are employed to track new studies. The number of table columns, the range of data sources, and output permissions vary depending on the specific protocol.
Researchers are still required to review inclusion and exclusion criteria, extract content, and cite original sources; automated reports should not be equated with comprehensive, human‑performed systematic reviews. The free Basic plan offers limited usage for research agents and report generation, while advanced features such as comprehensive reviews, data extraction, and team collaboration should be confirmed according to the current pricing tiers.
