Screening Tools

The screening process is done in two stages:

  1. Title/Abstract: Include or exclude articles for your review by reading the titles and abstracts of each result and determining if they fit your eligibility criteria.
  2. Full Text: Results that have made it through the first stage are now screened by reading the full text of the article and determining if they fit your eligibility criteria. Document your reasons for exclusion at this stage.

The following tools can be used to screen through the search results of your reviews and select articles for inclusion in the review based on your eligibility criteria.
