Write with everything you have read at your side

Quotes arrive with their source, ready to cite
See which notes you have already used in a piece
Voice memos from a walk become outline points
FOR RESEARCHERS
A literature review that argues back
Lumen notices when two papers make the same claim, or when a new one contradicts the notes you took last year, and keeps every citation in order.
Same-claim and contradiction flags across papers
Citations copied in APA, MLA or Chicago style
Highlights keep their page numbers
