Who it's for
From the lab to the clinic to the classroom.
Built for researchers, clinicians, and professors who keep cumulative work organized. And for the students learning how to.
Researchers
Lab heads, postdocs, scientists.
Track methodologies across studies. Compare findings. Build cumulative knowledge across trials and grants without rebuilding the map every time.
"Studies using fMRI and a CBT intervention, ranked by sample size."
Clinicians
Doctors, therapists, practitioners.
Track treatments, drugs, and pathologies across the literature. Compare evidence. Stay current without drowning in journals.
"All treatments mentioned for treatment-resistant depression."
Professors
Faculty, supervisors, mentors.
Share concept maps with students. Build lab knowledge bases. Keep decades of research organized and pass-down-able.
"Every paper my lab has cited on attachment theory."
Students too
Psychology students
Organize lit reviews around theoretical frameworks. Map concepts across coursework and thesis research.
Medical students
Map anatomy, pharmacology, and pathology. Connect structures, drugs, and conditions with relationship types.
Definitions on demand
Textbook entries for any concept, summoned on the spot.
Every concept in your library can have a polished definition — summary, history, examples, controversies, clinical relevance, mnemonics, and citations — generated by Haiku at one click. No purchase, no review queue, just a wiki entry that wasn't there a moment ago.
From the founder
My happy place has always been a quiet room with a 24-pack of color-coded highlighters and a stack of journal articles. I love the process of research. But it always seems to end with not knowing in which of 97 different printed articles you wrote that key idea in the bottom right corner of the third page.
After two theses, a PhD dissertation, and who knows how many research projects in between, the pile grew. I would find something that looked vaguely familiar but not have the time to look through Article Mountain™ to figure out whether I'd already taken full notes on it or just printed it out and never gotten around to it.
Map My Research was born out of intimate, first-hand experience with the joys and pains of research. I hope it helps you like it helped me.
