About Literfy

Literfy streamlines the entire literature review workflow by connecting directly to major research databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, and Semantic Scholar. Instead of manually browsing endless search results, researchers use precision search to quickly identify seminal papers and relevant sources. The platform automatically generates optimized search queries, allowing users to filter by publication year, venue, and citation count to refine results efficiently. Organizing research becomes effortless with Literfy's library feature, which saves and clusters papers by topic. The topic clustering functionality reveals gaps in your source coverage and suggests missing citations, ensuring comprehensive coverage of your research area. All saved papers can be exported in multiple formats, including BibTeX and Overleaf-ready citations, making integration with your writing workflow seamless. Literfy's writing assistance generates literature review outlines and sections grounded entirely in your selected papers. Every claim in the generated text links back to actual research, eliminating the risk of AI hallucinations that plague generic writing tools. The drag-and-drop editor lets you reorganize sections intuitively, while the platform maintains proper citation formatting throughout. Final reviews export to LaTeX, Markdown, or Word format with complete, correctly formatted reference lists. The tool integrates with popular reference managers like Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote, allowing you to maintain your existing research management system while leveraging Literfy's AI-powered discovery and writing capabilities.
