Evidentia Review
Project Description
Evidentia Review is a project of the Center for Studies, Development, and Innovation in Software (CEDIS) materialized as a web platform to support systematic literature reviews end to end. The initiative was designed for distributed research teams that need to register protocols, organize selection criteria, track decisions, and produce consistent reports throughout the full review process.
The platform is available at https://evidentia.cedis.tec.br/ and brings together features that strengthen evidence-based research, with a strong focus on collaboration, traceability, and reproducibility.
Project Objectives
The main objectives of the project are:
- to support the planning of systematic reviews, from research questions to extraction form design;
- to enable collaborative reviewer work during screening and consensus activities;
- to increase transparency and traceability of review decisions; and
- to facilitate the generation of reproducible reports and documents, including outputs aligned with PRISMA 2020.
Resources and Features
Among the resources offered by Evidentia Review are protocol registration, management of inclusion and exclusion criteria, title/abstract and full-text screening, reviewer conflict tracking, versioned synthesis templates, and data extraction audit mechanisms. The platform also includes Machine Learning support for prioritization and decision assistance, while preserving full audit trails across all stages.
