In their own words
Silvi
Silvi is a web tool for organizing scientific literature into structured evidence. Its review workflow covers collecting studies, screening them, extracting data and analyzing results, including systematic reviews, meta-analyses and network meta-analyses. Reviewers can include or exclude studies individually or in bulk, with AI screening suggestions available. Data extraction can use PDF text highlights, which Silvi stores alongside the extracted information, or AI; users can check and correct AI results. Extracted data can be organized in tables, plotted and exported. Teams can assign tasks, require multiple reviewers and blind decisions. Silvi lists imports from PubMed, OpenAlex, Web of Science, ERIC, Zotero, Mendeley and EndNote. Its Web of Science RIS workflow allows up to 1,000 records per export. Open-access papers can be retrieved automatically; paywalled papers must be obtained through a university library. Plans include a free option and paid options from €19/mo.
