EROS (EARLY REVIEW ORGANIZING SOFTWARE)

Those who conduct systematic reviews know that the early stages of this type of study can be complex in its logistical and administrative aspects.

The process of selecting studies to be included in a review (both in its title or abstract phase and in its full text selection phase) can be complicated because, in general, it is carried out in duplicate (two different people evaluate the studies to be included).

The IECS developed the software called EROS (Early Review Organizing Software), to improve the methodological quality of systematic reviews and save organizational time, equitably distribute work, facilitate peer review of citations and, therefore, reduce errors. humans that occur due to disorganization.

EROS has satisfactorily fulfilled its mission, which is why our team currently participates together with the team COVIDENCE, software that has currently replaced it.
