How can I edit my decisions?

EasySLR understands the importance of keeping decisions up-to-date to match requirements ensuring they remain relevant and aligned with the latest criteria. This functionality will only be available if it is activated in the Workflow section under Settings.

Follow these steps to edit your decisions:

1. Navigate to the "My Article Reviews" section from the sidebar on the left on EasySLR.

2. Use the filter options provided to quickly search for the article that needs updating. You can filter articles based on Stage, Decision, RefID, or Tags. This approach helps you find the desired article accurately and minimises errors.

3. Click on the three horizontal dots (...) next to the article. The Update decision option will appear on the screen. Ensure the Update decision feature is enabled in the Workflow under Settings.

4. Select "Update decision”, and the screening window will open. Here, you can modify Include/Exclude reasons, notes, or tags based on the changes you need to make.

5. After making the desired changes, click the "Update" button to save the decision update.

Once the decision is updated, you can view the changes in the "My Article Reviews" section. This ensures transparency and allows you to keep track of the modifications made.

The Lead Reviewer and Project Owner can view the number of updates by a reviewer in the Quality tab under the Statistics section.

The Excel file will provide a breakdown of decision updates at the Title-Abstract and Full-Text stages, for the corresponding study.
