The grand tour
Wonders is built for the whole arc of a literature review — from the first search to the final bibliography. Dozens of clever features, and a lot of small things that make a big difference.
Start free →Discover
One search box across 320M+ scholarly works from OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar, plus Google Patents — sciences, humanities, the lot. No more bouncing between Google Scholar, a database login, and a half-remembered PDF folder. Start broad, then narrow with filters and a year range until the right papers surface.
Strategy
Wonders suggests keywords and builds Boolean queries with you — the kind of rigorous, repeatable search your supervisor actually wants to see. Side-by-side search panels let you run several angles at once and compare what each one returns.
Organize
Drag papers, highlights, and notes onto a visual board and group them into themes you can actually look at — for the people who think in maps and colours, not endless lists. Everything stays linked to its exact source.
Read
Read papers and PDFs right inside Wonders. Colour-code highlights, pull quotes, and get plain-language summaries of dense passages — with a term lookup a click away. Every highlight is saved, searchable, and tied back to where you found it.
Write
Draft in an editor where citations format themselves and link back to the paper they came from. No more hunting for “where did I read that?”. Export the bibliography in APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE or Vancouver when you’re done.
Together
Share a project and set roles. A supervisor audit view (in beta) shows the process behind the work — the searches, the sources, the reasoning — not just the final PDF. It runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install for a cohort.
