Import anything
Drop in RIS, BibTeX, CSV or PubMed exports. Duplicates are flagged by DOI and fuzzy title match before you start.
Screening, without the overwhelm
Small steps to a big review.
BabySLR™ turns thousands of titles and abstracts into one calm decision at a time, so your team can screen faster and agree more often.
Built for students, librarians and research teams running systematic and scoping reviews.

Features
Everything a first review needs, nothing it doesn't.
BabySLR™ is deliberately small. It does the screening stage of a systematic literature review really well, and leaves the rest of your workflow alone.
Keyboard-first screening
Decide with one key and move on. Highlighted keywords help your eyes land on the parts of an abstract that matter.
Blind dual review
Two or more reviewers screen independently. Conflicts appear in their own queue, ready for a calm third look.
Exclusion reasons
Pick from your own list (wrong population, wrong design, no outcome data) so your flow diagram writes itself.
Agreement at a glance
Live counts and Cohen's kappa for every reviewer pair, so you know when your criteria need a tweak.
Flow diagram export
Export counts for each stage in a ready-to-fill flow diagram, plus a clean CSV of every decision and reason.
How it works
From search results to shortlist in four steps.
No setup wizard, no training course. If you can sort mail, you can run a BabySLR™ screen.
Bring your search
Import exports from the databases you searched. We merge them and flag likely duplicates.
Write your criteria
Add inclusion and exclusion criteria and the keywords you want highlighted in every abstract.
Screen together
Invite co-reviewers. Everyone screens blind, one record at a time, at their own pace.
Resolve and export
Settle conflicts, then export your included studies and the numbers for your flow diagram.
Try it
Screen six sample abstracts.
The question: does daily outdoor play improve sleep in children aged 3 to 10? Include, exclude or mark maybe. Your choices stay in this browser only.

Questions
Good to know.
Who is BabySLR™ for?
Anyone running the screening stage of a systematic, scoping or rapid review: graduate students on their first review, librarians supporting research teams, and small groups who want a tool that stays out of the way.
Why "Baby"?
Because a big review is just a lot of small decisions. BabySLR™ keeps each step small and friendly, so the whole thing feels manageable.
Does it decide for me?
No. BabySLR™ highlights your keywords and can sort records so the most relevant ones come first, but every include and exclude is a human decision.
Can I do full-text screening too?
Yes. After title and abstract screening, included records move to a second stage where you can attach notes and record a full-text exclusion reason.
Can I switch plans in the middle of a review?
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade at any time and your project, decisions and reasons stay exactly where they are. If you go back to Starter with a larger project, it becomes read-only until you upgrade again.
What happens to my data?
Your records belong to your project. You can export everything as CSV at any time and delete a project completely when you're done.
