Questions
Where does the information come from?
From Crossref and OpenAlex, the open databases that publishers register their papers with. Titles, authors, journals and years come straight from these records.
Some abstracts are missing.
Not every publisher shares abstracts with these databases. Open the DOI link and paste the abstract or your own summary into the table.
Can I edit the table?
Yes. Click any cell to edit it, especially Method, Findings and Research gap, which you fill in after reading each paper. Your table is saved in this browser.
How do I put it in my thesis?
Download it as a Word file. The table is in landscape layout, ready to paste into your review of literature chapter. "APA references" gives the matching reference list.
