Systematic Review

Systematic reviews, end to end — with an auditable AI pipeline

ResearchCollab runs your systematic literature review across all seven stages, mapped to PRISMA — turning a pile of papers you happened to find into a funnel you can defend, with every included study traceable.

What a systematic review really is

From a pile you happened to find to a funnel you can defend

An ad-hoc search picks the papers you stumble on. A systematic review finds, screens and appraises every relevant study with a method you fix in advance — so you can defend why each paper is in or out.

The map

Seven stages, four PRISMA phases

Every review follows the same defensible map. The four core stages line up with the four PRISMA phases, with set-up and write-up either side.

The Discover stage maps your question across 460M+ papers so you can see the whole evidence base, how much work exists in each area, and where the gaps are before you start screening.

  • Semantic search across 460M+ papers
  • Visual map of related work and sub-topics
  • A reproducible search you can document and defend

Systematic review questions

Is the workflow PRISMA-aligned?

Yes. The seven stages map to the four PRISMA phases (identification, screening, eligibility, included), and the pipeline keeps a traceable flow from records identified to studies included.

Can I screen and extract at scale?

Yes. AI assists title/abstract screening, full-text Deep Check, and data extraction across your included studies, while you stay in control of every decision.
