How to use Screening Studio

Blinded dual screening with ML re-ranking

Rayyan and ASReview style collaborative screening: two screeners work blind, conflicts surface for adjudication, and active learning re-ranks the queue as you decide.

Before you start

  • A signed-in SciExpert account

Steps

  1. 1

    Open Screening Studio

    From the workspace sidebar choose Screening Studio. On a phone, open the All menu and tap Screening Studio.

  2. 2

    Set up your inputs

    Rayyan and ASReview style collaborative screening: two screeners work blind, conflicts surface for adjudication, and active learning re-ranks the queue as you decide. Start with the smallest realistic input so you can check the output before scaling up.

  3. 3

    Run it

    Run the tool and check the first output: blinded dual screening with conflict resolution.

  4. 4

    Review what came back

    Work through the results: active-learning re-ranking of the remaining records; background jobs with retries so state is never lost; exclusion reasons recorded for the prisma flow.

  5. 5

    Save or export

    Save the configuration as a preset if you will repeat it, and export the output when you need it outside SciExpert. Your inputs persist across refreshes and sign-ins.

Tips

  • Start with a small input, verify the output, then scale up.
  • Save a preset once the configuration works so you can reuse it across papers.

Troubleshooting

Nothing happens when I run it

Check that every required field is filled and that your plan includes this service — locked services show a padlock in the sidebar.

The output is not what I expected

Reduce the input to a single item, confirm the result is correct, then add the rest back gradually.
