# Vezz me for Grad Students & Researchers: literature reviews without tab overload.

Read dense papers, check methodological assumptions, and follow citation chains in Chrome or Firefox without opening 40 tabs or losing sight of the primary text.

> **Best fit:** Best for PhD candidates, postdocs, academic researchers, and R&D analysts conducting deep literature reviews.

## Step-by-step workflow

1. **Question claims beside the primary text**: Highlight methodology sections, identification strategies, or theoretical proofs and press your shortcut (default: Ctrl+Shift+X).
2. **Switch between Tutor and Reviewer lenses**: Use the ELI5 Bridge preset when reading outside your subfield, and the Statistical Methods Interpreter when critiquing papers in your domain.
3. **Extract clean literature matrix notes**: Copy concise 3-bullet syntheses directly into Zotero, Obsidian, Notion, or LaTeX notes.

## Why keeping the source visible matters for academic rigor

When you paste text into a separate chat window, it is easy to accept a plausible-sounding summary that subtly misstates the paper's actual scope.

- Vezz me keeps the original paragraph, equations, and tables directly beside the explanation
- Follow-up questions let you probe whether a claim is empirical data or author speculation
- Works across arXiv, PubMed Central, Google Scholar HTML views, JSTOR, and ScienceDirect

## Frequently asked questions

### How does Vezz me compare with SciSpace or Glasp for academic research?

SciSpace is a full academic sidebar and PDF library, and Glasp is a social web highlighter. Vezz me is a lightweight, private on-screen question layer that works on any webpage without shrinking your reading viewport.
