Reliably Accelerated Literature Screening in Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis and Other Evidence Synthesis Methods
PublicLiterature screening is the process of identifying all relevant records from a pool of candidate paper records in systematic review, meta-analysis, and other research synthesis tasks. This process is time consuming, expensive, and prone to human error. Screening prioritization methods attempt to help reviewers identify most relevant records while only screening a proportion of candidate records with high priority. This dissertation is devoted to design and use of screening prioritization methods in practice. It considers three different properties of a screening process, efficiency, reliability, and fairness. The main contributions of this dissertation include: (1) provides a comprehensive review of the current progress of screening prioritization algorithms. (2) proposes a method to evaluate the reliability of a screening process in real life applications. (3) explores the fairness of a screening process and its impact on the evidence synthesis results.
