Keeping up with research and finding related work is still a time-consuming task for academics. Researchers sift through thousands of studies to identify a few relevant ones. Automation techniques can help by increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of this task. To this end, we developed CRUISE-Screening, a web-based application for conducting living literature reviews - a type of literature review that is continuously updated to reflect the latest research in a particular field. CRUISE-Screening is connected to several search engines via an API, which allows for updating the search results periodically. Moreover, it can facilitate the process of screening for relevant publications by using text classification and question answering models. CRUISE-Screening can be used both by researchers conducting literature reviews and by those working on automating the citation screening process to validate their algorithms. The application is open-source: https://github.com/ProjectDoSSIER/cruise-screening, and a demo is available under this URL: https://citation-screening.ec.tuwien.ac.at. We discuss the limitations of our tool in Appendix A.

翻译：紧跟研究进展并查找相关工作对科研人员而言仍然是一项耗时的任务。研究者需从成千上万篇研究中筛选出少数相关文献。自动化技术可通过提升效率与效果来辅助这一工作。为此，我们开发了CRUISE-Screening——一个用于开展动态文献综述的Web应用程序（动态文献综述是指持续更新以反映特定领域最新研究的文献综述类型）。CRUISE-Screening通过API与多个搜索引擎连接，可定期更新搜索结果。此外，它利用文本分类与问答模型辅助相关出版物的筛选流程。该工具既可供开展文献综述的研究者使用，也可供致力于自动化引文筛选过程以验证自身算法的研究人员使用。本应用为开源项目（代码仓库：https://github.com/ProjectDoSSIER/cruise-screening），演示版本可通过以下链接访问：https://citation-screening.ec.tuwien.ac.at。关于该工具局限性的讨论详见附录A。
