LitPivot: Developing research ideas through dynamic contextualization within the literature landscape

LitPivot is a system developed in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania that assists researchers in navigating literature-initiated pivots in their research proposals. In a study involving 17 researchers, those using LitPivot rated their research ideas as better grounded in literature compared to those developed with traditional tools. The system organizes literature around specific facets of a proposal and provides critiques and suggestions for revisions.
