What I do differently
- Documentation-first design so decisions stay explainable.
- Human-in-the-loop AI that accelerates work without hiding judgment.
- Reproducibility by default with versioned search strategies and methods text.
The ecosystem
SystematicReviewTools.app is the front door and workflow foundation. The apps below are specialized engines for specific stages.
SystematicReviewTools.app
Templates, guides, and workflow foundations for defensible reviews.
Stage: Planning to reporting
Best for: Researchers who need structure fast.
Study-Screener.com
A screening workspace with consistency, reasons, and progress tracking.
Stage: Title/abstract and full-text screening
Best for: Teams screening at scale.
EvidenceTableBuilder.com
Extract study characteristics and outcomes into structured tables.
Stage: Data extraction and tables
Best for: Reviewers building publishable evidence tables.
AI-SystematicReview.com
Orchestrates the full workflow with traceable reasoning.
Stage: End-to-end orchestration
Best for: Organizations running reviews as a system.
Why I built this
Systematic reviews are rigorous by design, but the day-to-day work is messy. Time pressure, inconsistent decisions, and documentation debt can turn good methods into fragile workflows.
While embedded with research groups in Amsterdam, I saw the same failure modes repeat: search logic lost over time, screening decisions that could not be reconstructed, and brittle handoffs between tools.
SystematicReviewTools.app exists to support judgment, reduce cognitive load, and preserve traceability so your review stays defensible long after the sprint ends.
Common failure modes
- Decision rationale disappears over time.
- Teams lose consistency across reviewers.
- Tooling is fragmented and handoffs are brittle.
- AI can help, but not if it breaks auditability.
What you will find here
SystematicReviewTools.app is the front door: a toolkit hub that connects planning, searching, screening, extraction, and reporting into a coherent workflow.
Templates and checklists
Protocol planning and PRISMA-aligned documentation.
- Protocol scaffolds
- PRISMA-ready checklists
- Methods text templates
Search strategy utilities
Building blocks, translation guidance, and database logic.
- Search block library
- Translation guidance
- Database coverage insights
Workflow guides
Screening, extraction, QA, and reporting guidance.
- Screening criteria and rationale
- Extraction schemas and QA
- Reporting checklists
What this is not
- This is not a one-click tool that writes your systematic review. (that's something I am working on for ai-systematicreview.com)
- This is a workflow toolkit and learning hub that keeps your process coherent, repeatable, and defensible.
