Background: To improve speed and quality, methodological innovations and automation tools have emerged to support many steps in the production of systematic reviews. We propose the following workshop which provides on overview of the tools developed at the IEBH that make up the suite of tools known as the Systematic Review Accelerator (SRA). An overview of how these tools fit in to the IEBHs novel Two Week Systematic Review (2weekSR) method will also be part of the workshop: https://iebh.bond.edu.au/education-services/2-week-systematic-reviews-2weeksr

Objectives: To demonstrate how the IEBH automation tools can be used to help improve the speed and quality of conducting systematic reviews.

Description: The workshop will provide an overview and live demonstration of all the SRA tools developed at IEBH.

The SRA tools covered include:

1.

The Methods Wizard

2.

The Word Frequency Analyser

3.

The SearchRefinery

4.

The Polyglot Search Translator

5.

The Deduplicator

6.

The Screenatron

7.

The Disputatron

8.

9.

RevMan Replicant

There will also be tutorials of the tools commonly used by information specialists involved in systematic reviews, The Word Frequency Analyser, the SearchRefinery, the Polyglot, and the Deduplicator.

All tools are freely available via the SRA website: https://sr-accelerator.com/#/

Learning outcomes: Attendees of the workshop will gain knowledge of the tools available via the SRA. They will also gain practical skills in using the tools designed to assist with search strategy creation.
