Your literature, finally connected.

Nexiom turns scattered papers into a living knowledge map — so you can see what the science actually says, not just what you've read.

Research is non-linear. Your tools aren't.

Papers pile up, connections get lost

Researchers read hundreds of papers but insights live in scattered notes, highlights and memory.

Literature reviews take weeks

Finding what supports, contradicts or extends your hypothesis means re-reading everything every time.

You don't know what you don't know

The gaps in your reading are invisible until a reviewer finds them for you.

From DOI to knowledge map in seconds.

Already use Zotero, Mendeley or EndNote? Good. Keep using them.

Nexiom isn't a replacement for your reference manager. It's what happens after you've collected papers — the thinking layer on top.

.bib

Import from BibTeX

Export your Zotero or Mendeley library as BibTeX and import it directly into Nexiom. Your entire reading list becomes a knowledge map instantly.

DOI and URL import

Copy a DOI or URL from anywhere — PubMed, arXiv, Nature, Science, your university library — and Nexiom handles the rest.

PDF upload

Have a paper that's not online? Upload the PDF directly. Nexiom reads it, extracts the structure and adds it to your map.

Your reference manager stores papers. Nexiom connects them.

The Feed: your personalised research radar.

Most researchers find new papers by accident. Nexiom's Feed surfaces new publications from PubMed and arXiv that are directly relevant to what you're studying. Every morning, new papers. Ranked by relevance. Explained by AI. One click to add to your map.
