Open Science AI Tools for Systematic, Protocol-Based Literature Reviews

prismAId offers a suite of tools using generative AI models to streamline systematic reviews of scientific literature.

It provides simple-to-use, efficient, and replicable methods for screening and analyzing research papers with no coding skills required.

Toolkit Overview

prismAId offers a comprehensive set of tools for systematic literature reviews:

Core Tools

1. Screening - Filter and tag manuscripts to identify items for exclusion
2. Download - Download papers from Zotero collections or from URL lists
3. Convert - Convert files (PDF, DOCX, HTML) to plain text for analysis
4. Review - Process systematic literature reviews based on TOML configurations
5. RevAIse documentation support - Optionally document review stages as RevAIse review records

Workflow

Our tools support a comprehensive systematic review workflow following the standard sequence: Search → Screen → Download → Convert → Review. RevAIse support can document Zotero download, screening, and review/extraction stages in one cumulative review record.

Access Methods

• AI agents via the MCP server - A main entry point: connect an AI assistant to the prismAId MCP server and drive every tool in conversation
• Command Line Interface - For users who prefer terminal-based workflows
• Web Initializer - A browser-based setup tool for configuring reviews
• Programming Libraries - API access through multiple languages:
  • Go (native implementation)
  • Python package
  • R package
  • Julia package
