A QUICK WALKTHROUGH

How to use this tool

  1. Add columns for the fields you want to compare and rows for each source or entry.
  2. Edit cells and use the notes area for reminders or synthesis.
  3. Download the current matrix as TSV or CSV.

A flexible local table

Start with a small matrix, rename headers, and add or remove rows and columns as your review develops. Empty cells are allowed.

Export what you see

TSV and CSV exports include the current headers, cell values, and notes. This tool does not verify citations or search external sources.

GOOD TO KNOW

Common questions

Are my notes uploaded?

No. The matrix is kept in this browser page and is exported only when you download it.

Does this verify citations?

No. It is an organization tool and does not verify references or search the web.

Can I reopen the matrix later?

Download a TSV or CSV copy to keep it. The page does not save a cloud history.
