Using Rayyan for Systematic Reviews

Video by Dr. James Azam

Note: By default, reviewer "blinding" is on. That means each reviewer cannot see other reviewers' decision to include or exclude the same reference, to reduce bias in reviewer decisions. The review owner can turn this off from the My Reviews page.

1. Select the reference you want to evaluate.

2. Choose Include, Maybe, or Exclude.

3. (Optional) Add a short Reason for exclusion decisions only. (If you add a reason for an article you want to include, Rayyan will mark it as an excluded article.)

4. (Optional) Add a short Label to categorize certain types of articles. This does not effect your inclusion or exclusion decision.

5. (Optional) Add a Note to discuss the reasoning behind your decision further.
