JBI SUMARI

JBI SUMARI is a web-based software platform that facilitates the entire systematic review process from protocol to report.

Conducting Critical Appraisal

Critical appraisal is the process of evaluating the articles you included in your review for quality and bias. To do so, you will use quality assessment tools to grade each article and create a summary of the quality of your review's included studies.

JBI SUMARI has integrated JBI's Critical Appraisal Tools along with others like Cochrane's Risk of Bias into their Appraisal feature. Questions may not be in the same order in JBI SUMARI as they are for the most recent checklists on the JBI website.
