SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Systematically searches, screens, downloads, and organizes literature for research projects. The workflow integrates PubMed/EU PMC/CORE search, PICO problem parsing, deduplication, and reference management to support evidence-based decision making.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Integrated PubMed search with PICO parsing, deduplication, citation metrics, and session management.
  • Full-text retrieval and in-depth article management, including references linking and export-ready formats.
  • Use Case: conduct a comprehensive literature map for a clinical question, then export results to RIS/BibTeX for manuscript preparation.

Quick Start

Initiate a systematic literature review for a topic, generate a comprehensive search strategy, and export a reference list.

FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct a systematic literature review using PubMed and PICO?

A systematic literature review using PubMed and PICO is automated by parsing your clinical question into PICO format, executing integrated database searches, and applying deduplication to yield a clean reference map.

What is the best way to manage references and export to RIS or BibTeX for a systematic review?

Managing references and exporting to RIS or BibTeX is handled through the full-text retrieval workflow, which organizes articles, checks open access availability, and formats citations for manuscript preparation.

Can I search PubMed, EU PMC, and CORE simultaneously for evidence-based research?

Yes, you can search PubMed, EU PMC, and CORE simultaneously to gather comprehensive literature mapping for evidence-based decision making, with integrated session management and citation tracking.

How does PICO parsing help with literature screening and deduplication?

PICO parsing extracts key clinical question elements to drive targeted search strategies, while deduplication removes overlapping records from multiple database queries to streamline the literature screening process.

Does the systematic review workflow include full-text retrieval and open access checks?

Yes, the systematic review workflow includes full-text retrieval and open access checks to support in-depth article management, complete with reference linking and export-ready formatting.

When do I need to use a systematic review workflow for clinical literature mapping?

You need a systematic review workflow for clinical literature mapping when tackling research topics requiring comprehensive evidence synthesis, PICO-driven questions, and structured citation tracking across multiple databases.
