## ASReview: Active learning for Systematic Reviews

Systematic Reviews are “top of the bill” in research. The number of scientific
studies are increasing exponentially in many scholarly fields. Performing a
sound systematic review is a time-consuming and sometimes boring task. The ASReview
software is designed to accelerate the step of screening abstracts and titles
with a minimum of papers to be read by a human with no or very few false
negatives.

The Active learning for Systematic Reviews (ASReview) project, publised in
[*Nature Machine Intelligence*](https://doi.org/10.1038/s42256-020-00287-7),
implements machine learning algorithms that interactively query the
researcher. This way of interactive machine learning is known as [Active
Learning](https://asreview.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/activelearning.html).
ASReview offers support for classical learning algorithms and state-of-the-art
learning algorithms like neural networks.

ASReview software implements two different modes:

- **ASReview LAB**  This modus is used to perform a systematic review with
  interaction by the reviewer (the 'oracle' in literature on active learning).
  The software presents papers to the reviewer, whereafter the reviewer classifies them. See [ASReview LAB](https://github.com/asreview/asreview#asreview-lab).
- **Simulate**  The simulation modus is used to measure
  the performance of the active learning software on the results of fully labeled systematic
  reviews. To use the simulation mode, knowledge on programming and bash/Command Prompt
  is highly recommended.

## Installation

The ASReview software requires Python 3.7+. Detailed step-by-step instructions
to install Python and ASReview are available for
[Windows](https://asreview.nl/installation-guide-windows/) and
[macOS](https://asreview.nl/installation-guide-macos/) users. The project is
available on [Pypi](https://pypi.org/project/asreview/). Install the project
with (Windows users might have to use the prefix `python -m`):

```bash
pip install asreview
```

Upgrade ASReview with the following command:

```bash
pip install --upgrade asreview
```

Instructions for usage with Docker are [here](docker/README.md).

## ASReview LAB

ASReview LAB is a user-friendly interface for screening documents and
experimentation with AI-aided systematic reviews. Read more about using the
software in the [Quick
Tour](https://asreview.readthedocs.io/en/latest/lab/overview_lab.html).
