How to use Keyboard shortcuts for faster screening in EasySLR?

EasySLR supports a range of keyboard shortcuts designed to speed up the screening process and reduce manual effort. These shortcuts are particularly helpful during the Title-Abstract Screening stage, allowing reviewers to include or exclude articles quickly without using a mouse.

Why Use Keyboard Shortcuts?

Using keyboard shortcuts:
  • Saves time by reducing the need for mouse clicks
  • Minimises repetitive strain and improves reviewer ergonomics
  • Keeps your workflow focused and distraction-free
  • Allows faster navigation through large volumes of records
How to View All Available Shortcuts

You can view all supported keyboard shortcuts directly on the platform in two easy ways:
  1. Click the “?” icon at the middle-bottom of the Title-Abstract Screening page
  2. Press “/” on your keyboard (this will open the shortcut list)
These shortcuts are context-sensitive and only active when you're in the screening view.
