A systematic literature review answers a focused question using a transparent, reproducible method: a protocol, a documented search, explicit inclusion criteria, screening, data extraction and a reporting standard such as PRISMA.

  • Turn your question into a PICO-based protocol and Boolean search
  • Screen, extract and report with a PRISMA-ready workflow

About this use case

A systematic literature review answers a focused question using a transparent, reproducible method: a protocol, a documented search, explicit inclusion criteria, screening, data extraction and a reporting standard such as PRISMA. It is rigorous, and it is slow. AI can take on much of the repetitive work, from screening titles and abstracts to extracting data into tables, while you keep responsibility for the decisions that make the review trustworthy.

This hub brings together SciSpace Academy's systematic review guided and tutorials, including PRISMA-ready walkthroughs, rapid review and evidence synthesis tutorials, team workflows and tutorials delivered in Arabic, Portuguese, Spanish, Thai, Chinese, Indonesian and German. Start with the tutorial, then use the tutorials for worked examples in your own language.

Frequently asked questions

Is it acceptable to use AI in a systematic review?

Many reviewers use AI to support screening and data extraction, provided a human checks the decisions, the process is documented and AI use is reported in the methods section. Check the requirements of your target journal and any reporting guidance for automation tools before you start.

What is the difference between a systematic review and a literature review?

A traditional literature review summarises relevant research to frame a topic. A systematic review follows a pre-defined protocol with a documented search, explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria and a reporting standard such as PRISMA, so that another researcher could reproduce it.
