How to Speed Up Your Systematic Review with Bulk Screening

Screening papers for your systematic review takes a lot of time and labor.

Silvi lets you screen papers in bulk to make your systematic review process efficient without compromising on quality or rigor.

Here's a quick guide on how to bulk screen papers in Silvi:

1. Start by importing papers into a project in Silvi. Then click on the -hand-like button on top of the left column.

This will enable you to select multiple studies using mouse clicks or Shift + Down Arrow.

As you select multiple studies, their abstracts will appear on your screen. You can read through the abstracts and if you find them relevant to your project, you can include them all by clicking on the green "Include all" button.

If you want to deselect a study for some reason, simply click on the cross in the top right corner of its abstract and it will be deselected.

2. You can also exclude studies in bulk using the bulk-screening function.

Click on the hand-like button and select multiple studies.

To exclude them all, click on the red "Exclude all" button and all the selected studies will be excluded.

3. You can also bulk-screen papers containing a certain word or a term.

To do so, type in the search bar the word/term you want to look up in papers. Then click on the hand-like button and select multiple papers.

It'll show abstracts of selected papers with the keyword highlighted.

4. Now you can include/exclude all the papers containing that particular word/term in one go.

With Silvi's bulk-screening function, you can screen papers quickly and efficiently.
