Abstract

Abstract: It can take a year or more to complete a high-quality systematic review. Automation tools have the potential to expedite the systematic review process, but could compromise review quality if not adequately evaluated. International collaborations have begun to address the need to evaluate, improve, and integrate systematic review automation tools. The librarian role in systematic reviews may shift from expert searcher to systematic review automation expert.
