How do you turn a literature review into a structure map? Put every paper into one question framework.
A literature review is not a pile of paper-by-paper summaries; it reorganizes sources by research question, method, finding, debate and gap. NuromBoard helps you turn excerpts from many papers into a single review structure map.
Built for thesis writing, proposal defense and scoping a research topic.

Where the work gets stuck
Why generic tools are not smooth enough
Papers drift apart
Every paper has its notes, but they never merge into one review framework.
No thread for writing
It is unclear whether to organize by question, method, chronology or argument.
Unclear citation links
Which papers support the same claim and which disagree quickly becomes confusing.
Steps

02
Regroup by theme
Reorganize the excerpts around research questions, method routes and points of debate.
03
Build the review map
Output a mind map, outline and card system you can write from directly.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can a mind map really organize a literature review?
Yes. It groups many papers by research question, method, finding and point of debate instead of summarizing them one by one.
Can NuromBoard handle many papers at the same time?
You can keep multiple PDFs, excerpts, cards and mind maps in one project, so nothing is lost between reading and writing.
