The public policy cycle requires increasingly the use of evidence by policymakers. Evidence Gap Maps (EGMs) are a relatively new methodology that helpsidentify, process, and visualize the vast amounts of studies representing arich source of evidence for better policy making. This document performs amethodological review of EGMs and presents the development of a workingintegrated system that automates several critical steps of EGM creation bymeans of applied computational and statistical methods. Above all, the proposedsystem encompasses all major steps of EGM creation in one place, namelyinclusion criteria determination, processing of information, analysis, anduser-friendly communication of synthesized relevant evidence. This toolrepresents a critical milestone in the efforts of implementing cutting-edgecomputational methods in usable systems. The contribution of the document istwo-fold. First, it presents the critical importance of EGMs in the publicpolicy cycle; second, it justifies and explains the development of a usabletool that encompasses the methodological phases of creation of EGMs, whileautomating most time-consuming stages of the process. The overarching goal isthe better and faster information communication to relevant actors like policymakers, thus promoting well-being through better and more efficientinterventions based on more evidence-driven policy making.
