Direct PDF Uploads in EasySLR
Direct PDF Matching in EasySLR allows users to automatically match and upload multiple full-text PDFs. This streamlines the process of linking full texts with citations—saving you time and effort during the full-text screening stage. Easily match and upload full-text PDFs for screening using our smart Direct PDF Matching feature.
Before starting, make sure you have procured all the PDFs in a local library.
How to Use Direct PDF Matching
Step 1: Go to your project and click on: Uploads > Full Text> Direct PDF Uploads
Step 2: Click “Add Direct PDF Upload” and select the PDFs files (max 150 per batch)
Step 3: Automatic Matching: EasySLR will automatically match each PDF to the corresponding article.
You'll see a table showing:
- Matched references and PDF names
- Unmatched items (if any)
- Preview matched articles before final upload
Step 4: Import Matched PDFs
Click Import PDFs to complete the process. The system will add the PDFs to your articles under the Full Text Screening stage.
Things to Keep in Mind
- You can run this in multiple batches.
- Manual upload is still available for unmatched PDFs.
Q. What if a PDF doesn't get matched?
