Catchii: free software for SR screening (1-2, 23 Jul)

📰 Description

Catchii is a web-based software for systematic review screening, developed here in Australia. It supports all stages of the screening process, from duplicate removal to data extraction, and includes features such as multi-user collaboration, advanced keyword highlighting and AI-assisted screening. Most importantly, Catchii is completely free to use, offering a viable alternative to paid tools while remaining comparable in functionality. This session will present Catchii’s features and demonstrate its use in systematic reviews. For more information: https://catchii.org

View the Conference Program, and – because it’s so great – Register for the Conference

This year’s big event is the joint HLA / HLi conference being held in Melbourne in late October.

This is an in-person 👩 event only so it could be a good time to consider setting aside time ⏲, perhaps planning a holiday 🚢 around the event.

As a bonus, it’s in wonderful Melbourne (3rd most livable city in the world, leaving poor old Sydney in its wake …)
