Your judgment, with the full literature in view
Weighing evidence is the core of research. Keenious shows you the literature with its disagreements intact and gives you a search you can describe in a methods section.
The disagreements stay visible
A single synthesised answer can hide studies that conflict or use different methods. Keenious keeps the studies separate, groups them into research areas, and brings you to each paper’s methods and results. Ask, and it points out where findings disagree.
A search you can document
Every search has a query, filters, and a result count you can record in a protocol. Export the results with the columns you choose and screen them in your own tools.
A ranking you can explain
Results are ranked by meaning and keywords, then adjusted for citations, recency, field-weighted citation impact, peer-review status, and publication type. Exact keywords keep author names, acronyms, and formulas exact.
Built for rigorous research
Everything Keenious shows you is grounded in published records you can verify for yourself.
Real papers, linked directly
AI-invented citations are increasingly turning up in manuscripts. Every paper Keenious surfaces comes from our index of published works and links straight to the source.
Topaz et al., The Lancet, 2026Primary sources first
Automated summaries often gloss over limitations and overstate findings. Keenious brings you to the paper itself and helps you inspect the methods and results firsthand.
Peters & Chin-Yee, Royal Society Open Science, 2025Your research stays private
Your queries, chats, and uploaded files are processed in the EU. They are never used to train our models or those of our providers.

Where Keenious fits in the search stage of a systematic or scoping review.
Scoping
Check what has already been done
Describe your planned study or review question in a few sentences. Keenious searches by meaning as well as keywords, so it finds close prior work even when another field uses different terms.
The closest work sits in Contextual Fear Conditioning and Synaptic Plasticity And Hippocampus. In the list, look for studies that change when the sleep loss happens after training, since that is what your design varies.
Sorting by most cited shows the studies the others build on. Their methods sections will tell you how close they come to your design.
Scoping
Map the field before you set your terms
Every search lays up to 1,000 publications out on a map of research areas. You see which areas your question touches, including work outside the journals you usually follow, before you decide what to include.
Searching
Set your inclusion criteria
Narrow the results by peer review, publication date, type, language, and Norwegian Scientific Index level. Run the search before and after a filter to see how many records it removes.
Citation searching
Follow citations forward
Open a key paper and follow its citations to the work that builds on it. The citing papers come back as a new search, grouped into research areas, and the same filters apply.
Screening
Export the results for screening
Download the results as a CSV with the columns you choose, or as RIS, BibTeX, or CSL JSON for Zotero, EndNote, and Mendeley. Then screen them in the tool your review uses. Export is part of Keenious Plus.
