Description

Annette O'Connor and co-authors summarize key discussions from the eighth meeting of an international collaboration on automation of systematic reviews. Their 2024 summary covers a meeting held in London in September 2023.

The collaboration aims to maximize the use of technology for rapid, accurate, and efficient evidence synthesis. Major themes were the benefits and harms of automation tools that have appeared in recent years. Large language models in evidence synthesis were debated, with their advantages and disadvantages set out. A third theme was how to ensure a tool is valid for its proposed task. Such checks matter as automation enters review work.
