Filtering and sorting in Full text screening

Types of filters 

The reference list allows you to view all the references assigned to you. On the left hand side, you can filter studies according to the following criteria:

  • Status: Decision code

  • Attributes: Publication year and structured comments.

To apply filters:

  • Select the desired filter from the options in the filter section, or

  • Enter keywords in the search bar. You can further refine your filtering by specifying specific areas within a record, such as searching within titles only. Click enter to confirm


Tip: By default, there is a Boolean operator "AND" between each filter domain. This means that if you select "In" in the decision code and "2000-2023" in the year of publication, you will get a set of studies published after 2000 that you have included in the full-text screening.
