Introduction

The main objective of the Python framework is to automate systematic reviews to save reviewers time without creating constraints that might affect the review quality. The other objective is to create an open-source and highly customisable framework with options to use or improve any parts of the framework. python framework supports each step in the systematic review workflow and suggests using checklists provided by Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA).

Authors

The packages systematic-reviewpy and browser-automationpy are part of Research paper An open-source Python framework for systematic review based on PRISMA created by Chandravesh chaudhari, Doctoral candidate at CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Bangalore, India under supervision of Dr. Geetanjali purswani.
