Conflict Analysis in EasySLR

The Conflict Analysis feature in EasySLR helps identify patterns in reviewer disagreements during the screening process. It provides data-driven suggestions to refine your protocol and improve consistency across decisions, ultimately reducing conflicts.

Why Use Conflict Analysis?
  • Understand why reviewers disagreed on certain studies
  • Detect ambiguous or loosely defined inclusion/exclusion criteria
  • Improve the clarity and precision of your protocol
  • Reduce the manual effort required to resolve conflicts
  • Strengthen agreement between human reviewers and AI (if used)
When Can I Run Conflict Analysis?
  • Conflict Analysis can be run at Title–Abstract (TiAb) or Full-Text (FT) stages
  • Both reviewers must have completed screening for the selected stage
  • Supports projects with:
    • Only human reviewers
    • AI as one of the reviewers

What To Do Next
