Moara

Moara is an advanced AI-powered platform specifically engineered to transform the traditional literature review process. It provides a structured, guided workflow that helps users efficiently find, organize, screen, and synthesize academic papers. By integrating artificial intelligence with librarian-led best practices, Moara supports both narrative and systematic reviews, ensuring scientific rigor and transparency. The platform connects to a vast network of scholarly databases, enabling comprehensive coverage across disciplines while filtering out unreliable content. It's built for serious researchers who require robust tools for evidence-based work and collaborative environments.

How to use Moara

Using Moara involves a streamlined, multi-step workflow. First, users can import research papers from various sources, including PDFs, citation files (RIS, BibTeX), Zotero collections, or by searching Moara's extensive database of over 200 million papers. Once imported, the platform automatically extracts and enriches metadata using AI, organizing the library. Next, users triage and screen papers, making inclusion/exclusion decisions, adding tags, notes, and assigning tasks to collaborators. For in-depth analysis, users can highlight passages, add comments, and capture evidence directly from full-text PDFs, creating a usable evidence list. Finally, Moara facilitates collaboration, allowing co-reviewers to track progress and contribute, and uses AI to synthesize insights, grounding every output in the original literature.
