Abstract
This paper introduces ASReview Makita, a tool designed to enhance the efficiency and reproducibility of simulation studies in systematic reviews. Makita streamlines the setup of large-scale simulation studies by automating workflow generation, repository preparation, and script execution. It employs Jinja and Python templates to create a structured, reproducible environment, aiding both novice and expert researchers. Makita’s flexibility allows for customization to specific research needs, ensuring a repeatable research process. This tool represents an advancement in the field of systematic review automation, offering a practical solution to the challenges of managing complex simulation studies.
