From literature reviews to complete research project generation — gap analysis, study design, cost-tiered project planning, and faculty-ready thesis support.
SLR Studio helps researchers discover gaps, design studies, generate research questions, and produce structured literature reviews with real paper retrieval and guided writing.
No grant money required to run a full research program. No ghostwriting to get students published.
For Faculty
Run a full research program. Zero grant money required.
Gap analysis, study design, and cost-tiered project planning, all structured around what you can execute right now with graduate, doctoral, or medical students and no external funding. The platform identifies which projects need $0 to run.
When you are ready to pursue funding, your proposal is already scaffolded, your literature is reviewed, and your gap is documented. The grant application becomes the last step, not the first.
For Students
Your research becomes real publications.
Take faculty-generated research directions and produce manuscripts, conference posters, and case studies. SLR Studio structures your sections, organizes your sources, and guides your process. Every word is still yours.
Graduate, doctoral, and medical students use the platform to build their publication record and develop the writing confidence that carries into their careers.

Workshops with Dr. Oroszi
Systematic Literature Review Workshop
A structured, data-driven SLR methodology taught to graduate students and clinicians, designed to compress months of work into a publishable manuscript. Taught for over a decade.
THE METHOD
Gold-Standard SLR, accelerated.
A strategic workflow integrating the scientific rigor of the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with data-driven tools to accelerate the process from keyword search to publishable manuscript, without sacrificing rigor or reproducibility.
Developed by Dr. Oroszi. Taught for over a decade.
CHALLENGE 01
Time
Focus-Driven Workflow identifies 25–35 Foundation Papers immediately. Saves months.
CHALLENGE 02
Bias
SLR Foundation uses explicit, reproducible criteria. Makes the review scientifically defensible.
CHALLENGE 03
Expertise
Quantitative Argument Mapping generates instant authority. Pinpoints gaps typically found only after years of expertise.

THREE WORKSHOP TRACKS
TRACK 1
Human-Led, Minimal AI
The original classroom method. Researchers learn the full SLR process: keyword architecture, Boolean search logic, subgroup construction, gap identification, before any AI acceleration. Excel-based with PubMed and OpenAlex. Human judgment at every decision point. This is where scientific rigor is built. The zeros are not failures. They are the point.
TRACK 2
AI-Assisted
Human-led with SLR Studio augmenting the process. AI generates keyword pools, identifies foundation papers across 25 subgroups, surfaces literature gaps, and scaffolds analysis. The researcher makes every interpretive decision. Includes Gap Mining, Thesis Development, and Poster modes. The researcher drives. The studio navigates.
TRACK 3
Full SLR Studio Pipeline
End-to-end SLR Studio workflow. Keyword architecture → live OpenAlex search → foundation paper identification → gap analysis → PRISMA 2020 compliance → manuscript draft → poster → grant significance sections. Includes all ten Research Tools: Methods Coach, Reviewer Response, Figure Studio, Journal Finder, and more. From first search to submission-ready draft in one session.
