About

A systematic literature review is a secondary study with the objective to identify, analyze and interpret all available evidence from primary studies related to a specific research question. As suggested by Kitchenham and Charters, the activity to perform a systematic literature review involves planning, conducting, and reporting the review.

Performing a systematic literature review is a labor-intensive task that requires a huge amount of work from the researcher, designing the protocol, adjusting the search string, filtering the results, sometimes more than a thousand articles, selecting those articles that attend the inclusion criteria, and removing those articles that attend the exclude criteria. After that, the researcher might start to analyze the relevant result one by one.

Tech Stack

The project is currently running on the following versions:

  • Python 3.9
  • Django 4.1
  • PostgreSQL 12
  • Bootstrap 3.4
  • jQuery 3.6

Running Locally

To run the project locally first you need to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/vitorfs/parsifal.git

Create a virtualenv:

virtualenv venv -p python3

Install the development requirements:

pip install -r requirements/local.txt

Now you should either setup a local PostgreSQL database or use SQLite.

Create a .env file in the project root (you can create one by making a copy of the .env.example):

cp .env.example .env

Now add the DATABASE_URL with the connection string pointing to your local database:

DATABASE_URL=postgres://richardwagner:holygrail@localhost:5432/parsifal

Or for SQLite:

DATABASE_URL=sqlite:////tmp/parsifal.sqlite3

Or if you want to place it elsewhere:

DATABASE_URL=sqlite:////Users/vitor/dev/parsifal/parsifal.sqlite3

Now run the migrations:

python manage.py migrate

Run the local server:

python manage.py runserver
