What is LitSource?

LitSource is a biomedical citation discovery engine designed for one goal: turn any claim into traceable, citable evidence in seconds.

Instead of guessing keywords and skimming dozens of tabs, you paste your claim or paragraph and LitSource:

  • Searches across 30M+ biomedical papers
  • Surfaces the most relevant supporting sentences
  • Lets you open the paper with evidence highlighted
  • Copies citations in standard formats (APA/MLA/BibTeX/Vancouver)

Who LitSource is for

  • Researchers writing related work or introductions under deadline
  • Clinicians preparing grand rounds, case reports, or guideline updates
  • Students who want zero-hallucination references
  • Teams that need an auditable trail (paper link + highlighted evidence)

Typical use cases

1) Validate a clinical claim

Example: “Resistance training improves glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes.”

Paste the claim, verify highlighted context, then copy a citation you can defend.

Split your outline into 3–5 claims, run each claim, and group the evidence into themes.

3) Bridge Chinese notes to English literature

If your draft is in Chinese, LitSource can still infer the intent and retrieve English PubMed evidence—then you keep the link for audit.

What makes LitSource different

  • Evidence-first UI: you see supporting sentences, not just titles
  • Traceability: every result is linked to the original paper
  • Quality signals: citation count, year, and journal quality at a glance
  • Copy-ready citations: reduce friction from discovery to writing

Next steps

  • Start with one clear claim per search.
  • Always open the paper and verify context before you cite.
  • Use filters (year, sections, citations) to tighten evidence quality.
