Quality appraisal
Rigor, not spreadsheets.
Appraise every included study right next to its data. The answers roll up into a quality summary, and the summary goes straight into your paper.
The challenge
Appraisal is method, not paperwork.
The problem
Scores kept in a side spreadsheet drift away from the review. Nobody remembers why a study got a two, and the paper ends up citing a file nobody can find.
With IAMB.AI
The checklist lives inside the review, one per included study. Every answer sits beside the study’s data and stays on the record, ready for the paper.
How it works
Appraise, summarize, report.
A checklist that is ready to go
Seven questions for software and computing studies, from Kitchenham and Charters’ guidelines for systematic reviews in software engineering.
Answered study by study
Each included study gets yes, partly or no on every question, right next to the data you extracted from it.
A quality summary
The answers roll up into one summary across your included studies.
Straight into the paper
The paper reports the answers in a quality table, so the methods and the results agree.
On the record
Who answered what is kept in the review’s log, like every other call.
Part of the review
No exports, no copies, no lost versions. Appraisal is one more step on the same road.
Appraise inside the review.
