EPPI-Reviewer

EPPI-Reviewer is a high-performance web-based software suite developed by the EPPI-Centre at UCL for managing every stage of the systematic review process. As of 2026, it has solidified its market position as the premier tool for 'Living Systematic Reviews' through its tight integration with the Cochrane Evidence Pipeline and OpenAlex. The technical architecture revolves around a robust relational database that supports multi-user collaboration and high-volume data processing (100k+ records). Its core competitive advantage is the 'Active Learning' machine learning engine, which prioritizes screening results to reduce workload by up to 60-90%. Furthermore, the tool has integrated Large Language Model (LLM) capabilities for automated data extraction and quality assessment, allowing researchers to move from citation to synthesis with unprecedented speed. It supports diverse review types, including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods research, offering specialized modules for meta-analysis and evidence gap mapping.
