The first stable release. SaiLoR helps reviewers run Systematic Literature Reviews (SLR): a single JSON project file holds both the annotation schema and the papers to review, and the app renders each paper's PDF next to a form generated from that schema. It ships as a fully local desktop app (Electron) and as a static web app you can host anywhere — same codebase, same features.

Highlights

  • Annotation — a nested, cardinality-controlled schema (text, number, year, yes/no, repeatable groups); grab a value straight from selected PDF text; search papers by title, author, DOI, abstract, filename, or your own recorded answers; a completeness dot tracks progress per paper; Validate checks every paper against the schema before you call it done.
  • Screening — a fast include/exclude pass with configurable, keyboard-driven exclusion reasons, a PRISMA-style summary, and duplicate detection (exact and fuzzy) when importing references or PDFs. New from screening… carries included/undecided papers straight into an annotation project, or into a second screening pass.
  • Multiple independent reviewers — each reviewer annotates in isolation; Consolidation lines up repeatable groups, auto-fills unanimous answers, and reports Cohen's κ, Fleiss' κ, and Krippendorff's α, plus a dedicated Disagreements view.
  • Git support (desktop only) — clone a project repo from the app, review local changes field by field before committing, and pull with a three-way field-level merge of the project JSON (not a line-based text merge), including a reviewer-seat identity check to catch two people accidentally claiming the same seat.
  • Import & interoperability — pull in papers from BibTeX, RIS, or CSL-JSON reference exports; a durable protocol field for the review's own research questions, search strings, and criteria; a provenance record when a project was built from a screening pass.
  • Deployment — build a static SPA for any static host, run it via the included Docker/nginx setup, or package native installers (macOS, Windows, Linux) for the desktop app.
