ASReview LAB

ASReview LAB is an open-source and free-to-use software product resulting from an academic collaboration. It enables AI-aided systematic screening of textual data, such as in systematic reviews or meta-analyses. It runs in a web-browser and is flexible in using many different feature extractors and classifiers. For more information about the underlying infrastructure, refer to the Nature Machine Intelligence publication.

ASReview LAB Server

ASReview LAB Server expands upon the capabilities of ASReview LAB by offering additional features like authentication and collaborative model refinement. It is a self-hosted solution that ensures privacy and is suited for teams requiring secure access and collaboration.

Datasets

ASReview also provides access to a synergistic collection of datasets, which can be utilized for various research purposes. Explore the Synergy dataset at our GitHub datasets repository.

Extensions

ASReview supports for extending the software with new models, subcommands, and datasets. They can extend the functionality of ASReview LAB, and the Command Line Interface. There are officially supported extensions and community maintained extensions.
