Instead of ASReview

ASReview alternatives

ASReview helps screeners prioritize records for systematic reviews with AI-aided active learning while keeping people responsible for decisions. It supports recommendations, team screening through Crowdscreen, model simulations, and CSV, RIS, and XLSX exchange. The free ASReview LAB plan is open source and works through Linux, macOS, Windows, web, self-hosted, and API options. Its documentation also describes integrations with EndNote, PubMed, and other reference managers, plus Python, REST, and command-line interfaces. Local deployments keep data on the user's computer, while server deployments follow the organization's environment and policies.

Readers may look elsewhere when they need full-text handling, extraction, risk-of-bias work, reporting, or broader evidence-synthesis stages beyond prioritization. ASReview has no paper-summary or full-text-management feature, and it does not offer Android or iOS access. Alternatives also differ in pricing, deployment, AI providers, audit controls, and collaboration depth. Weigh whether you need a focused screening workflow or a workspace that carries a review from search through synthesis, and check how each option separates automated suggestions from human decisions.
