Citation & Literature Review Matrix

Use this reference matrix to compare real source notes, methods, findings, evidence strength, page or quote notes, limitations, and citations. Row-level readiness shows exactly what must be completed before a source enters the CSV or outline.

The starter rows are illustrative examples, not real papers or citations. They are excluded from exports until you replace them with papers you have read and add a citation, DOI, URL, or library note. Your working matrix is saved only in this browser; use a backup to move it elsewhere.

Export-ready rows: 0. Needs details: 3. Rows with a duplicate DOI or URL: 0. Only user-entered rows with a title, key finding, and citation, DOI, URL, or library note are included in outline and CSV exports. Sample details and page or quote notes stay attached when provided.
