| Citation | Research question | Method | Key findings | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maslach & Leiter (2016) | How does burnout develop in service professions? | Longitudinal survey | Emotional exhaustion precedes depersonalization | Self-report only |
| Iancu et al. (2018) | Which interventions reduce teacher burnout? | Meta-analysis, k=23 | Mindfulness programs show moderate effects | High heterogeneity |
| Kim & Burić (2020) | Does self-efficacy buffer burnout? | Cross-lagged panel | Efficacy → burnout, not the reverse | Two time points |
Illustrative layout — your matrix is built from the actual papers you select, with linked source records, themes, research gaps, and a reading order.
1 · Search
Type your topic. We query OpenAlex — the open index of 250M+ scholarly works — and show real papers with abstracts and citation counts.
2 · Select
Tick 3–20 papers that belong in your review. Papers without abstracts are flagged so you know what the AI can and cannot read.
3 · Synthesize
One click builds the matrix. Every cell is grounded in the abstracts; anything uncertain is labeled for you to verify against the full text.
