Thus, in terms of its methodology, the study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive focus. It utilised a research/action design, a form of qualitative research to address practical, everyday issues and enhance specific practices, such as data management in systematic reviews. The findings detailed the application of tables, dynamic tables, forms, and coding in Visual Basic, among other elements. Consequently, a software tool was developed in Microsoft Excel to facilitate data recording, processing, and extraction through graphs and tables for bibliometric and content analysis purposes. In conclusion, it was determined that a software solution based on Microsoft Excel is a suitable option for creating systematic reviews due to its affordability, adaptability, and strong ability to manage extensive data sets.}, }
