Analysis types

Three analysis types, one research memory

Each engine answers a different question about a body of literature, and each rests on established method. Here is exactly what they do — and the work they build on.

01 · BIBLIOMETRIC ATLAS

Who grows the field, along which axes?

Turns citation, co-authorship, keyword and temporal flows into a research map.

  • Publication clusters and centres of influence
  • Field density, disconnects and bridges
  • Temporal trend and maturity signals

Grounded in the literature

  • Small, 1973
  • Callon et al., 1983
  • Cobo et al., 2011

co-citation · co-word · coupling

02 · THEMATIC INTELLIGENCE

What does the literature say — and what does it not?

Does not just list themes; it surfaces conceptual proximity, repetition and zones of silence.

  • Theme families and concept routes
  • Reasoned marking of candidate gaps
  • Textual evidence for an originality claim

Grounded in the literature

  • Blei et al., 2003
  • Cobo et al., 2011
  • Newman & Girvan, 2004

03 · META-EVIDENCE COURT

How strong is the evidence, how defensible the decision?

Takes meta-analysis out of a calculator output and binds it to a decision trail: choice, assumption, heterogeneity and provenance.

  • Effect size and heterogeneity reading
  • A decision ledger for model selection
  • Publication-quality tables and reports

Grounded in the literature

  • DerSimonian & Laird, 1986
  • Higgins et al., 2003
  • Moher et al., 2009
