Abstract: The development of information systems used in clinical research is constantly increasing, as their advantages are widely acknowledged. Although many researchers have introduced information systems which can be used during a clinical study’s process, a scarcity of information systems accommodating the complete process has been detected. Based on this finding, twenty-three (23) information systems and ontologies used in clinical research were retrieved, based on certain criteria. The information systems and ontologies were then categorized and evaluated based on categorization and evaluation tools. Finally, the result was the synthesis of the eligible-for-evaluation information systems and the development of a guide for choosing the appropriate information system during each step of a clinical trial; the data provided by each information system were identified. Unfortunately, some information systems and ontologies were excluded from the synthesis due to lack of information regarding the evaluation criteria. Therefore, future research should proceed with retrieving this information and developing a guide which will consider more information systems, especially for conducting observational studies.
