Reviewing retrieved references for inclusion in systematic reviews using EndNote
نویسندگان
چکیده
An important task in conducting a systematic review is reading titles and abstracts of the retrieved references, which often number in the thousands, to determine which articles meet the predefined inclusion criteria. In the past, this was performed by manually scanning through large stacks of printed titles and abstracts, followed by face-to-face meetings to discuss which references should be included. Today, the workflow of the review process is more streamlined by using computer software.
