Web-Based Software Tools for Systematic Literature Review in Medicine: Systematic Search and Feature Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Systematic reviews (SRs) are central to evaluating therapies but have high costs in terms of both time and money. Many software tools exist to assist with SRs, but most tools do not support the full process, and transparency and replicability of SR depend on performing and presenting evidence according to established best practices.
