ASReview

Welcome to the ASReview Universe 👋

Used by thousands of researchers and experts around the world 🌐

First things first, welcome to the ASReview Universe 🪐. The ASReview Universe consists of many many things, but on the whole, it is a research project conducted at Utrecht University. It uses state-of-the-art active learning techniques to solve one of the most interesting challenges in screening large amounts of text: there’s not enough time to read everything! Part of the universe is ASReview LAB, free and open source software for screening large amounts of textual data in a smarter way 🤓.

👐 Open Source

The best part about ASReview LAB? It is completely free, installed locally, and open source:

Open source means:

• From fixing spelling mistakes to implementing your ideas, anybody can contribute to the project!
• You can dive into the history and see where ASReview started (but you have to go back a long while 🕵️).
• There is no black-box anymore ⬛, everything is transparent 👓.

Since we are talking about open source and free software anyway ☝️, please consider giving ASReview a star ⭐ on GitHub. Donations 💛 make sure that the software remains freely available to everyone, please help to keep it that way.
