This Wiki aims to support users in creating their own SOLES projects. Here, we give guidance based on our own expertise and practices at CAMARADES, however this might not be best suited for your own use case. Feel free to take inspiration from parts of our workflow and adapt to your own purposes as necessary.
Systematic Online Living Evidence Summaries (SOLES) are an approach to large-scale evidence synthesis employing automated tools to APIs for record retrieval, machine learning for record classification, and natural language processing for text extraction. They aim to provide broad overviews of research areas that can be used:
- As a starting point for more detailed evidence synthesis
- To identify trends in data or gaps in knowledge
Most of the SOLES workflow is contained within the R programming language. Additionally, data curated in SOLES projects are shared on openly available web applications, hosted on R Shiny Apps.
For more information on SOLES read our 2023 SOLES paper in Clinical Science, and have a look at our existing SOLES projects on our SOLES overview website.

The pages in the sidebar will walk you through the process of setting up a SOLES. Please note the following:
- The SOLES projects we run are hosted on AWS servers which cost money to maintain - this is described in more detail in the setting up a database page
- We would love to collaborate with you if you're interested in SOLES and enhancing the SOLES code, but we may not be able to provide specific one-to-one support for your project
- The code in this repository and documentation in this wiki are in development and subject to change
If you feel the documentation in this wiki could be improved or you've noticed a function isn't working for you, please let us know by submitting an issue on GitHub. This will allow us to improve the documentation or fix the bug. Please note however, that we may not be able to see to this request immediately.
