FreedomResearchTools

Nearly every thesis and systematic review needs two figures: the PRISMA flow diagram of the literature search, and the Gantt chart of the research plan. FreedomResearchTools makes both in minutes. A wizard asks the questions, the figure appears as you answer, and the result is exported as a crisp 4K picture, ready for Word, LaTeX, slides or a poster.

PRISMA diagrams, with the sums done for you. Enter the records found in each database and register, then those removed, excluded and not retrieved, with the reasons. The wizard works out everything else and flags any numbers that do not add up. It follows the PRISMA 2020 templates, for databases and registers, other sources or an updated review, and the earlier PRISMA 2009 diagram.

A research plan in seconds. Choose an undergraduate project, a taught master’s, a master’s by research or a PhD, and the month you start. The wizard lays out the usual stages over the whole programme, from the literature review and ethics approval to submission and the viva, grouped by phase and year. Then make every task, milestone and percentage your own.

Designs that impress. Fifteen designs for PRISMA diagrams, sixteen for Gantt charts and twenty colour themes, including a monochrome theme for journals and a theme that is safe for colour blindness. Every thumbnail shows your own figure, and pointing at one previews it instantly.

Sharp at any size. Each picture is drawn afresh at full size, never enlarged from the screen, so every line and letter stays crisp: 3840 pixels on the long side, exactly 3840 by 2160 for slides, 2160 by 3840 for posters, or 8K for large prints. Choose PNG, with a transparent background if you like, JPEG or SVG, or copy a 4K picture straight to the clipboard.
