Workflow
- 01
Confirm the question
Enter a research question or import it from Search Builder, then correct the proposed PICOTS dimensions.
- 02
Build the evidence base
Run a PubMed search or upload MEDLINE, RIS, or CSV records. The map keeps the query, date, and source.
- 03
Inspect the evidence map
Open any cell to see the classified titles and abstracts behind the count. Correct labels before you trust a gap.
- 04
Review candidate dossiers
Absence, scarcity, recency, geography, and study-design rules produce candidate gaps with checks and a draft PICOTS question.
Open Research Gap Finder
Work from a research question to a citation-backed candidate gap dossier. Export Markdown or Word for a protocol or grant draft.
