/ 100
Established

This tool helps researchers, academics, and students automatically collect and analyze scientific literature from databases like PubMed and OpenCitations. You input your research questions or keywords, and it retrieves article counts, co-occurrence data, full text, and citation information. The output is structured data and visualizations that support automated literature reviews and meta-analyses.

110 stars. Available on PyPI.

Use this if you need to systematically gather and analyze data from scientific publications to conduct literature reviews or meta-analyses without manual data extraction.

Not ideal if you primarily need to perform qualitative analysis of a small, hand-picked set of articles or if your research is outside scientific literature databases.
