How it works
From a corpus to a defensible gap, in four steps
Lacuna turns a body of literature into an evidence architecture you can defend. Bring a corpus; the three engines read it together, and every result carries its provenance.
- Step 101 · Corpus
The data universe is built
Records from sources like Scopus, WoS and Scholar are cleaned, versioned and turned into an analysable research corpus.
Outputcorpus profile
- Step 202 · Lenses
Three lenses look at the same universe
Bibliometric structure, thematic meaning and meta-analytic evidence are interpreted together in one research memory.

- Step 303 · Gap
A candidate gap is chosen with its reasoning
Lacuna does not assert a gap; it marks it by the surrounding publication density, thematic silence and evidence weakness.
Outputgap dossier
- Step 404 · Seal
It becomes a publishable report
Every table, figure and decision is sealed with its source, version, method and selection rationale.
