JBI SUMARI (System for the Unified Management of the Assessment and Review of Information) is a web-based software package designed to assist in the conduct of JBI systematic reviews.  SUMARI supports the entire review process, from drafting your protocol, study selection, critical appraisal, data extraction and synthesis. It also allows you to manage review teams and contributors to your review. 

SUMARI can support the conduct of 10 different types of systematic reviews including reviews of effectiveness, qualitative research, economic evaluations, prevalence/incidence, etiology/risk, mixed methods, umbrella/overviews, text/opinion, diagnostic test accuracy and scoping reviews.

A systematic review is defined as:

 “a review of the evidence on a clearly formulated question that uses systematic and explicit methods to identify, select and critically appraise relevant primary research, and to extract and analyze data from the studies that are included in the review.”
