====== AutoLit ======

AutoLit® is Nested Knowledge's platform for performing a review. On AutoLit, you can **[[:wiki:autolit:search|]]** for records, **[[:wiki:autolit:screening|Screen]] **out records that are not relevant to your research, and **[[:wiki:autolit:tagging|Tag]] **relevant qualitative data using tags.

Additionally, other features include **[[:wiki:autolit:meta_analytical_extraction|Meta-Analytical Extraction ]]**to extract quantitative data, and **[[:wiki:autolit:manuscript|]]**to compile your evidence. For more information and a brief overview of the AutoLit tool, explore the pages below!

When completing a review on AutoLit, you will automatically generate the interactive, data-driven visuals presented in **[[:wiki:synthesis|]].**

===== Getting Started =====

  * See our **[[:wiki:autolit:admin:settings|]] **page to find a walk-through of the tasks to start a "Nest" (a Nested Knowledge term for an interactive, updatable review in AutoLit).
  * Want to try out the software in an already-existing project? See our **[[:wiki:start:demo|Demos]]**, which you can edit and practice in!

===== The AutoLit Workflow =====

By creating a review in AutoLit, you automatically create interactive, visual outputs on Synthesis. To see the connections between the AutoLit tasks and Synthesis outputs, see the figure below:

===== Features =====

  * **[[:wiki:autolit:search|Search:]] **Build a structured search using [[:wiki:autolit:search:exploration|]], run automatic and updatable [[:wiki:autolit:search:execute|searches]] on PubMed, and [[:wiki:autolit:search:manualaddition|import records]] from other search indices or external sources.
  * **[[:wiki:autolit:screening|Screen:]]**Configure your study's [[:wiki:autolit:screening#configure_screening|Exclusion Reasons]], and then include relevant studies and exclude irrelevant studies, using either single or [[:wiki:autolit:screening:dual|Dual Screening]].
  * **[[:wiki:autolit:tagging|Tagging:]]**Build [[:wiki:autolit:tagging:configure|Hierarchies]] of concepts of interest from underlying studies, or save work by importing your Organization's [[:wiki:autolit:admin:settings:orgs:templates#tagging_hierarchy_templates|Template Hierarchies]]! Extraction will automatically create a **[[:wiki:synthesis:qualitative|]]**diagram of your work.
**Optional:**

  * **[[:wiki:autolit:meta_analytical_extraction|Meta-Analytical Extraction:]]**Gather quantitative data from underlying studies (and, as necessary, perform [[:wiki:autolit:critical_appraisal|Critical Appraisal]] assessments) that automatically populates your **[[:wiki:synthesis:quantitative|]]**.
  * **Write:**  Draft your public Abstract using our **[[:wiki:autolit:abstract|]]**, full write-ups using our **[[:wiki:autolit:manuscript|]]**.
===== Other Resources =====

Systematic reviews are complicated! Here are some further resources to help with your study design and nest building:

  * **[[:wiki:synthesis|Synthesis:]] **The process outlined above creates interactive data-visualizations in our Synthesis software.
  * **[[:wiki:autolit:utilities:artificialintelligence|Artificial Intelligence in NK:]]**Explore how our software speeds up the review process with our AI-enhanced tools every step of the way.
  * **[[:wiki:autolit:admin:settings:orgs|Organizations]]**give you capabilities like inviting all collaborators at once, overseeing projects, and providing and using [[:wiki:autolit:admin:settings:orgs|Organizational Templates]].
  * **[[:wiki:autolit:utilities:inspector|]]**is your one-stop page in a nest to view, filter, and edit any study's content.
  * **[[:wiki:guide|Best Practices for Review:]]**If you need guidance on how to design, perform, or [[:wiki:guide:write|draft]] a systematic review, see our guidance documents!
  * **[[:wiki:support|Support:]]** Our [[wiki:support:askai|Ask AI ChatBot]] is a great first port of call for any questions surrounding how tot use the software.
