Important considerations
  • Systematic-review support is not described as fully end-to-end; the official site says Elicit automates screening and data extraction while only partially supporting search and report generation.[1]
  • Coverage is focused on academic papers and clinical trials; the official page says more data sources are coming soon.[1]
  • Community discussion indicates Elicit works best for questions with empirical research, such as randomized controlled trials.[4]
