What Nested Knowledge is
Nested Knowledge is a web platform for systematic reviews and evidence synthesis. AutoLit links literature searching, screening, tagging, data extraction, and critical appraisal in one workflow. Synthesis turns review projects into interactive qualitative and quantitative outputs, dashboards, and manuscripts. The platform supports AI paper summaries, full-text analysis, screening workflows, and exports in CSV, RIS, XLSX, DOCX, and PDF. The maker says AI outputs remain traceable to their sources and can be reviewed by a human before inclusion. Automatic searches can use PubMed, EuropePMC, ClinicalTrials.gov, DOAJ, MAUDE, OpenAlex, and Embase when required integrations are configured. Other listed integrations include CCC RightFind, Article Galaxy, and scite; most organization-configured connections require the customer’s own provider credentials or license. Each search or import has a 10,000-record limit. Nested Knowledge says data is encrypted at rest and communications are encrypted in transit, and that it adheres to GDPR and CCPA. It was founded in 2018 in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
