Consensus

ConsensusWeb

Search engine that answers from academic papers, with evidence strength attached

Good for

  • Answering questions from academic evidence
  • Seeing where studies agree and disagree
  • A fast scan before writing a literature review

Not for

  • Practical tool selection and product comparison
  • Needing Chinese-language literature coverage

We deliberately put “not for” on the same screen — a review that only lists strengths carries no information.
