Subject: workflow for using Rayyan

Hi! I haven't used RefWorks in many years because we dropped our site license. Regardless, here is a common workflow for my teams---

  1. Complete the deduplication process within their citation manager.
  2. Import the deduplicated set into Rayyan.
  3. Complete all screening  title/abstract screening in Rayyan
  4. Export included items into a fresh, new Rayyan project.
  5. Obtain fulltexts and complete fulltext screening
  6. Export the set of records they've selected for inclusion into a separate RefWorks project library or a Zotero Group (to ensure it remains walled off from their original search set and/or any other projects they may be working on).

Hi, all,

I have faculty and students who are starting to use Rayyan for their systematic review screening, and looking for guidance from me. My initial understanding of a feasible workflow would be something like this, and would take place after they'd done all their searches, and imported all the records into a citation manager (RefWorks, generally, although some may be using Zotero):

  1. Complete the deduplication process within their citation manager.
  2. Import the deduplicated set into Rayyan.
  3. Complete all screening.
  4. Export the set of records they've selected for inclusion into a separate RefWorks project library or a Zotero Group (to ensure it remains walled off from their original search set and/or any other projects they may be working on).

It's mainly step 4 I'm trying to confirm. If you use Rayyan for screening, is this the process you'd use? I'm open to any recommendations you may have!

Thanks,

Hilary
