screenllm - LLM-Assisted Title/Abstract Screening for Systematic Reviews
A turn-key workflow for LLM-assisted systematic-review
screening. The package ranks a corpus of titles and abstracts
with an ensemble of open-source large language models served
locally by 'Ollama', then applies the SAFE stopping rule to
identify the records a human should screen. Defaults match the
four-LLM mean ensemble and the SAFE configuration recommended
by Spillias et al. (2026). A companion 'Shiny' app walks the
human reviewer through the records above the stopping point.
Complementary to the 'AIscreenR' package of Vembye et al.
(2025) <doi:10.1037/met0000769>, which targets cloud-hosted
'GPT' models via the 'OpenAI' API; 'screenllm' targets
locally-served open-weights ensembles with an integrated
stopping rule.
