The Synthesis Matrix
See the themes line up.
Sources down the side, the analytic dimensions across, so the agreements, gaps and arguments show themselves and the review almost writes its own structure.

№ 01 · Why this exists
A review is only as good as the notes behind it.
Read, highlight, forget, read again. A literature review falls apart when the sources live in a dozen PDFs and your memory. This is one book that holds the reading: a deep card for each paper, its full citation written once, then the summary, the quotes with page refs and your own critique underneath, and a matrix that lays all of them side by side until the themes and the gaps show themselves.
It is drawn for e-ink, not a glossy monitor. Warm paper tone, hairline grids, pen-weighted rule lines and real room for your pen, exported for the screen you are actually looking at.
№ 02 · Inside the planner
Built to turn reading into a review.
A synthesis matrix and a deep annotated card for every source, cross-linked both ways. Tap a thumbnail to look closer.
The Annotated Source
One deep card per paper.
Full citation, then a summary, relevance, key quotes and your critique, tagged, so a source you read in March is still usable when you write in September.

№ 99 · Questions
Things you’ll want to know.
Will this work on my device?
Yes. It is a hyperlinked PDF sized to the writing surface, and it works across reMarkable, Kindle Scribe, Boox, Supernote and Goodnotes on iPad, 19 models in all. Pick your device above to see it on yours.
How many sources does it hold?
Forty annotated source cards and eight matrix grids per edition, and you get two editions. If a review runs longer than that, reprint the pages you need or work in the second year.
Is there a calendar in it?
No. This is a two-page system, the matrix and the source card, and nothing else. It is meant to sit beside whatever you already plan your weeks in rather than replace it.
What languages are available?
Six: English, Deutsch (German), Español (Spanish), Français (French), Nederlands (Dutch) and 中文 (Chinese). Choose yours with the language selector above and the PDF you receive is written in it. Same file, same price, in every language.
How is this different from the Research System?
The Research System is the whole doctorate: this matrix and these source cards, plus a proposal outline, linked research notes, a thesis timeline and a lab notebook, across 195 pages. This kit is the reading half on its own, for a review that is not attached to a thesis.
Is this a one-time purchase?
One-time. You keep the file. No subscription, no renewals.
Do I tap the links with the pen or a finger?
A fingertip. Tabs, index rows and page links are followed by tapping them, and on a reMarkable the Marker draws rather than navigates, so a tab tapped with the pen leaves a mark on the page instead of turning it. Tap with a finger and it works every time.
Will it show up under Templates on my Scribe?
No, and no bought planner can: the Templates list on a Kindle Scribe is closed to files you add yourself, on every model. Yours arrives as a hyperlinked PDF and lives in your Library beside your books and documents, which is where you open it and write on it. Send it across with Send to Kindle so the links and the colour survive, and keep your download as the master: the Scribe cannot duplicate PDF pages on the device, so when you want a clean one you send a renamed copy over again.
