The structure changes
Column names and missing-data rules drift when a matrix is rebuilt for each destination.
Move reviewed evidence into the tool where you will use it.
Download the matrix and source trail as PDF, Word, Excel, or Obsidian Markdown. Researcher accounts can also deliver reviewed evidence directly to Zotero and Notion.
Free includes 10 papers per month, the complete evidence workflow, and portable exports.Workflow
Export after the evidence has been reviewed.
Use the same verified workspace as the source for a shareable document, editable table, note, or connected app delivery.
- 01
Resolve uncertain cells
Open source pages, repair unmatched quotes, and mark cells for review before they are treated as accepted evidence.
- 02
Choose the destination
Download PDF, Word, Excel, or Obsidian Markdown, or connect Zotero or Notion for one-click delivery.
- 03
Continue in your existing workflow
Use the exported matrix for analysis, reference notes, team review, or researcher-controlled manuscript writing.
Copying a matrix by hand removes the context that makes it trustworthy.
Researchers often move between a PDF reader, reference manager, spreadsheet, notes app, and writing document. Repeated copying creates stale versions, broken citations, missing pages, and duplicated cleanup.
Quotes lose their pages
A short finding can survive the move while its exact source passage and review state disappear.
Reference notes split from analysis
Bibliographic libraries and evidence tables become separate records that have to be reconciled later.

EvidenceGrid separates portable downloads from account connections so researchers can choose the least intrusive path.
PDF and Word
Create a readable review record or an editable table for supervision, team review, and writing preparation.
Excel
Download structured matrix rows for additional coding, sorting, statistics, or controlled spreadsheet work.
Obsidian Markdown
Create a note with the research question, paper sections, evidence tables, quotes, pages, and source links.
Zotero and Notion delivery
Researcher accounts can create dedicated evidence notes in Zotero or a review database and pages in Notion after explicit authorization.
Plans
Portable exports stay free. Connected delivery belongs to Researcher.
Free includes PDF, Word, Excel, and Obsidian downloads. Researcher adds Zotero and Notion connected delivery, 120 papers per month, 5 million AI processing tokens, and 2 GB of private PDF storage.
Compare Free and ResearcherQuestions researchers ask.
Which export formats are available on the Free plan?
Free accounts can download PDF, Word-compatible RTF, Excel-compatible CSV, and Obsidian Markdown files.
Why are Zotero and Notion connected exports paid?
Connected delivery requires authorization storage, provider API handling, revocation, support, and ongoing maintenance. Portable downloads remain available without account access.
Does EvidenceGrid change my existing Zotero library?
Only after you connect Zotero and choose Send. EvidenceGrid creates a dedicated collection of evidence notes, and the connection can be revoked at any time.
What is included in an Obsidian note?
The note contains the workspace question, matrix structure, paper evidence, quotes, pages, review states, and source links rather than only the workspace title.
