Lateral presents a visual table which not only allows me to quickly identify themes but also relevant quotes and phrases (with references!) that could have easily been overlooked without.

Lateral helps me by keeping my files organized in one place where I can create concepts that are transversal to several articles. By filtering per concept I can easily contrast models, materials, assumptions and more.

I am especially fond of Lateral’s document viewer as it allows me to highlight text and organise the snippets into the different concepts that I have created. Lateral even suggests other relevant snippets which makes it a lot easier to find connections or contrasts within the literature.

The Lateral app solves all the hassle with documents and saves me time. It helps to settle my literature review 5 to 10 times faster than before.

Lateral is great for helping me organise my work and sharing progress with my supervisor! Lateral’s ‘suggested snippets’ also quickly let me find relevant text I may have missed.

This artificial intelligence programme is intuitive and quick to do tasks...My paperwork was processed more quickly, sorting out the information pertinent to my needs. I use it daily because it helps me with academic and professional writing, and it has fundamentally altered how I go about my job. It is comparable to a knowledgeable human. I highly recommend it.

I can recommend Lateral to anyone working with lots of documents at the same time. It really saves time and hassle, and is very easy to navigate.

Literature review is always a challenge for me. Glad I came across Lateral. A fantastic tool for managing the literatures I must read for my research. I can now organize the concepts I need for my paper in one place. Concept is brilliant! No need to open many tabs. Thanks Lateral!

I think partly why I’ve still preferred printing articles still has been so I could have them all there before me, physically highlighted, and not trying to remember which tab is which article. But I think Lateral is even better than that for having everything visible and easily accessible.
