Project and review settings

Once you've created a project, you can adjust various settings to customize things like review workflows and user permissions. To access settings, go to Manage -> Settings.

Project settings

Project settings includes the project name and visibility. You can change these settings at any time. Note that project names can only contain letters, numbers and dashes. No spaces or other characters are allowed.

Review settings

Review settings include options to manage your review workflows and methods. 

Article review priority

You can set article review priority to Single, Balanced or Full. In this way, you can create a review workflow for single reviewer screening (Single) or double reviewer screening (Balanced or Full), the typical method for most evidence synthesis reviews. The Full setting will allow you to prioritize double reviewed articles, which is a useful setting when piloting screening criteria, for example.  

Review limit

You can choose Two reviewers or Entire team. Choose Two reviewers for the typical dual-reviewer screening workflow, and Entire team to enable an unlimited number of reviewers per record. To manage a single-reviewer workflow, use the Article review priority setting Single as described above. 

Prefill review answers

You can allow the Auto-labeler to prefill label answers. When toggled ON, the Auto-labeler will automatically prefill the label answers for each record it processes. In this way, human reviewers can then use the Review tab to quickly review, verify, correct and approve Auto-label answers. When toggled OFF, the Auto-label will provide a label answer (found by clicking on the article and scrolling down to the section below the article metadata), but the labels themselves will not be prefilled. 

Submit on completion

This setting allows reviewers to skip clicking Save after filling in label answers, expediting the review process. The answers will automatically be saved and the reviewer will be taken to the next record when all required answers are filled in. If you have some optional labels, it is best to keep this setting toggled OFF to allow reviewers to fill in optional labels as needed. 

Label blinding

This setting allows for a blinded (i.e. independent) or unblinded review process. When toggled ON, only the project admins and owners can view reviewer decisions. 

Member settings

Finally, member settings is where you can set permissions for each user on the project. You can also remove users. For more about managing teams in Sysrev, visit the Adding and managing team members page.
