Systematic review toolbox: a catalogue of tools to support systematic reviews

Abstract

Systematic review is a widely used research method in software engineering, and in other disciplines, for identifying and analysing empirical evidence. The method is data intensive and time consuming, and hence is usually supported by a wide range of software-based tools. However, systematic reviewers have found that finding and selecting tools can be quite challenging. In this paper, we present the Systematic Review Toolbox; a web-based catalogue of tools, to help reviewers find appropriate tools based on their particular needs.
