Rayyan is a free, web-based tool that lets you screen your references for systematic reviews or other large literature reviews. Rayyan facilitates collaboration by allowing multiple people to screen the same references independently (blinded). You can use Rayyan after you have performed your literature search and collected the results in EndNote or Zotero.
Classes and support in Rayyan
Due to limited interest from English speakers we are not scheduling Rayyan webinars in English.
If you are part of a group of people who would like to schedule a webinar, please contact Elisabeth Molland. We can also provide individual support.
To start using Rayyan you first have to create a user.
Go to Canvas for more information about Rayyan.
