An exploration of available methods and tools to improve the efficiency of systematic review production: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Systematic reviews (SRs) are time-consuming and labor-intensive to perform. With the growing number of scientific publications, the SR development process becomes even more laborious. This is problematic because timely SR evidence is essential for decision-making in evidence-based healthcare and policymaking. Numerous methods and tools that accelerate SR development have recently emerged. To date, no scoping review has been conducted to provide a comprehensive summary of methods and ready-to-use tools to improve efficiency in SR production.

Objective

To present an overview of primary studies that evaluated the use of ready-to-use applications of tools or review methods to improve efficiency in the review process.

Methods

We conducted a scoping review. An in
