Raphaël Grolimund shows us a very cool video on how you can use Zotero for much more than just reference managing - in fact, you can use it during the entire process of a systematic review.

This is a nice thread from @sergiograziosi.bsky.social where he talks about some of the internal discussions we've had where we wrestle with how to develop, evaluate, and deploy new 'AI' tools in a responsible way
eppi-reviewer.bsky.social EPPI Reviewer @eppi-reviewer.bsky.social · Feb 13
Doing evidence synthesis and grappling with the ever-widening range of promises about using new Large Language Models to speed up the process?
Perhaps you’re worried about how such tools may be misused?
Yeah, we (the #EPPI-Reviewer team) feel the same.
A thread on our journey so far.
