What is Evidentia Review?

Evidentia Review is an online platform for planning, conducting, and reporting systematic literature reviews (SLRs). Distributed teams work in a shared workspace to design protocols and execute studies with traceability and auditability.

What it offers

• end-to-end documentation aligned with SLR essentials
• planning support for objectives, PICOC, research questions, search strings, keywords/synonyms, source selection, and inclusion/exclusion criteria
• configurable quality-assessment checklists and data-extraction forms
• imports (e.g., BibTeX), deduplication across sources, screening (TIAB and FTS), and structured data extraction
• collaborative workflows (blind mode, conflict detection, consensus path, unlimited authors)
• AI-assisted ranking to prioritize screening without auto-filtering or loss of reviewer control
• PRISMA 2020 reporting (flow diagram and checklist), multilingual UI, and exportable, auditable outputs
• Bibliometrics module (open sources: OpenAlex, Crossref, Unpaywall) with temporal series, top venues, co-authorship and bibliographic coupling networks, OA facet, and CSV/JSON exports.

What is a systematic literature review?

A systematic literature review is a secondary study that identifies, analyzes, and interprets evidence from primary studies addressing a focused research question. Following widely used guidance, an SLR comprises three main activities—planning, conducting, and reporting—each operationalized in Evidentia Review to reduce manual effort without compromising methodological rigor (e.g., Kitchenham & Charters).
