Systematic Review Platform

We're excited to launch the official VADRR documentation site at docs.vadrr.org.

What Is VADRR?

VADRR (Systematic Review Data Repository And Review Repository) is a collaborative platform for conducting and publishing systematic literature reviews. It supports every phase of the evidence synthesis process:

  • Citation management — import from PubMed, RIS, CSV, Endnote, or FHIR bundles
  • Screening — abstract and full-text screening with single or double-blind workflows and ML assistance
  • Data extraction — flexible forms with table sections (Type1), narrative questions (Type2), and statistical results (Type3)
  • Consolidation — resolve conflicts between reviewers into authoritative extraction records
  • SR360 — structured review-level metadata using the PICODTS framework
  • FHIR interoperability — export your entire review as HL7 FHIR R4 resources
  • Publication — share your review with the world via the VADRR public repository
