I need to do a Systematic Quantitative Literature Review in a short time and need a software to help with time saving and accuracy.
Dear Maryam,
If I understand the question, you are conducting a systematic review and want a software for data analysis.
Revman has been used in Cochrane reviews, you can check it out: https://community.cochrane.org/help/tools-and-software/revman-5
Dear Maryam,
You may find what you are looking for at the Systematic Review Toolbox:
http://systematicreviewtools.com/index.php
It is community-driven web-based catalogue of tools that support the systematic review process across multiple domains. You can can perform a detailed search to find specific types of tools for different specialities, approaches (for example text mining, data mining, visualisation) and specific features.
Best wishes,
Immo
Hi Maryam
I think this is what you are looking for.

Hi Maryam,
Apologies if I've got this wrong but I understand the "systematic quantitative literature review" to be the same or similar to a scoping review. This open access paper describes the steps they took and what they used to manage their results (RefWorks and DistillerSR). It might be helpful.

All the best,

Hi Anne Madden Thank you for sharing the paper, yes scoping research is very similar to systematic quantitative literature review. But I am after some software, stronger and easier than EndNote to manage a high volume of references.
Hi Maryam,
* for systematic reviews of literature I use StArt (http://lapes.dc.ufscar.br/tools/start_tool)
* and for references I use Mendeley (www.mendeley.com) instead of EndNote. It is easy to use and it is free.
Best,
Mario.
Mario Amore Cecchini how to use StArt. I did all protocol but I don't know how to upload the file to the StArt tool. my question is if you have any book or video can help me to do systematic review
Hi Tareq,
if you did the protocol, then you have to search in the databases and save the searches in Bibtex or Medline or another format accepted by StArt. Then you can begin to select which paper will be accepted or rejected in your review. You can check how to use StArt in this paper:
Fabbri, S., Hernandes, E., Di Thommazo, A., Belgamo, A., Zamboni, A., Silva, C. (2012). Managing literature reviews information through visualization. In International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems.14th. ICEIS, Wroclaw, Poland, Jun, 2012. Lisbon: SCITEPRESS.
Best,

Mario Amore Cecchini I want to use StArt but the link you added says the website is not available. Is there another way to download StArt?
Nina Snoeren I'm not sure, but I think they are probably facing some problems during this quarantine period. I could not find the program on any other website...
Nina Snoeren I have just checked and the website to download the StArt program is working. http://lapes.dc.ufscar.br/tools/start_tool

Thaís Ribeiro unfortunately StArt is not available for Mac. And if you are looking for a free course to learn how to use it (in Portuguese), I would like to recommend this one I made for UFSCar:
