Using Rayyan for Systematic Reviews

Create a Separate Review for Included References

For the full-text stage of your review, you may find it helpful to create a separate review of included references only from the first title/abstract screening stage.

1. Log in and start from the My Reviews tab.

  • If you're already in a review, click the All reviews button at the top of the page to return to My Reviews.

2. Create a new review for your full-text screening.

3. Click List all reviews in the upper right hand corner to return to the original review. Under Inclusion decisions, select only Included.

4.Click the Copy button at the top of the page.

5. In the pop-up box under Copy, make sure Filtered is selected. Under Target review, select the title of the new review you just created.

Adding Full Text to Rayyan

Note: Rayyan only handles PDFs for full-text, so if a reference is only available as a web page, use your browser to save or "print" the text as a PDF.

1. Choose the reference you want to add a PDF to.

2. Click the Upload PDF full texts button above the detailed reference information pane.

3. Click Add PDF files and select the PDF you want to attach.

4. Click Upload to add the PDF file to the reference.
