Please suggest if there are any tools that will help to progress Systematic Literature Review (SLR) rather than using Excel. Example right from the start of search, criteria and reduction (after data collection) to the analysis based on research objectives.
Hi,
Short answer: there are too many tools for listing them all here. See the website : http://systematicreviewtools.com/
OR their twitter because today the website is down for maintainance: https://mobile.twitter.com/srtoolbox?lang=en
Longer answer: some tools out there are free or cost, so the choice really depends on your needs and on your funding.. This is by no means a complete list, but it includes tools that are actually in-use, maintained and up-to date.
Some support multiple tasks all together in one tool:
E.G. RevMan 5, which is free for academic use and for Cochrane reviews (https://community.cochrane.org/help/tools-and-software/revman-5) and has VERY good tutorials on the Cochrane websites and the Cochrane Handbook.
Other tools include for example EPPI reviewer (non-free), which offers also some automation.
Some support single tasks, and some use automation to make the reviewing process quicker. Popular free tools with machine learning for screening are Rayyan, or Abstrackr. Other widely used tools for screening are for example SWIFT active screener, which also employs machine learning,or Covidence which is one of the recommended tools by Cochrane (along with revman and EPPI reviewer) : https://community.cochrane.org/help/tools-and-software
Hope that this (incomplete) answer helps,
Lena
