Development Status :: 2 - Pre-Alpha
Bibscrap is still in its pre-alpha development phase. This is the earliest stage of software development. The project is still establishing its requirementa, and it contains code that is not yet feature-complete. For more information about what this means for Bibscrap 0.1.0-alpha.5, please refer to Versions in the API documentation.
Overview
Bibscrap provides semi-automated tools for the creation of systematic literature reviews (SLRs). The methodology used to find and review the relevant research literature when writing an SLR is rigorous, often affording hypothesis testing related to real research questions about the literature; however, that rigor also means more work for SLR authors, especially when it comes to data collection and unbiased filtering. Bibscrap is designed to make doing that work as painless as possible.
Development Status
This documentation was generated for Bibscrap 0.1.0-alpha.5, which is still in its pre-alpha development phase. This is the earliest stage of software development. The project is still establishing its requirements, and it contains code that is not yet feature-complete. For information about what this means for Bibscrap 0.1.0-alpha.5, please refer to Versions in the API documentation.
Initial development will eventually lead to Bibscrap 1.0.0, the first official stable release. The planned phases for initial development are presented in the diagram below.
Planned Initial Development Phases
Once more information is known about the development plan for versions after 1.0.0, this section of the documentation will be updated to reflect that plan.
