ASReview is a free and open-source software project written in Python used to aid in screening text and in Systematic reviews. It is maintained and distributed by a research group from Utrecht University. [2] ASReview is currently betaware.

ASReview uses an active learning pipeline to screen large amounts of text. It does so by implementing a Human-in-the-loop system that continuously reorders a stack of records based on relevance scores, as computed by a machine learning model. By reordering the records based on predicted relevance, it finds relevant records quicker than when screening randomly, allowing the researcher to stop earlier in the screening process.[3][4]

CORD-19

ASReview gained popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic, as a tool for researchers to process scientific papers on Covid-19 and related historical coronavirus research.[5] In collaboration with the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19) from the Allen Institute for AI and Semantic Scholar, a CORD-19 plugin was made available for ASReview.
