Abstract
This chapter discusses the academic workflow of software that can support literature review, analysis, and synthesis using the Literature Grounded Theory (LGT) method. Emphasis will be placed on functionality, not software tools themselves, as certain software tends to vary over time in response to market conditions. However, the prescribed academic workflow of computational tools for LGT will be illustrated using some usual computational tools.
