Import & Export Project Functionality in EasySLR

EasySLR allows project owners to export project data for backup, transfer, and import into another organisation for record-keeping or to continue work seamlessly.

What Does Exporting a Project Mean?

Exporting a project in EasySLR allows you to download project data in structured formats so it can be:
  • Safely backed up
  • Shared with collaborators
  • Imported into another organisation in EasySLR, if needed
Note: EasySLR does not currently support a one-click full project migration between organisations.

What Can Be Exported?

You can export the following from a project:
1. Screening Decisions
  • Title–Abstract decisions
  • Full-Text decisions
  • Reasons, tags, and reviewer details
  • Conflict and QC-resolved outcomes

2. Data Extraction
  • Extracted data
  • Includes all configured DE fields
  • Reviewer inputs and final values

3. Reports
  • QC Report
  • Articles sent to previous stage (Delete Decisions) report
  • Screening statistics and audit logs

4. Settings
  • All project-level settings

How to Export a Project
  1. Open your project
  2. Go to Settings
  3. Click on Project Actions
  4. Select Export Project
  1. You will receive the project files via email in a compressed (ZIP) format:
  • Project file – contains all project data
  • PDF Batch files – contains the PDFs

These files can later be uploaded into another project.

Importing Project into Another Organisation

To import the project:
  1. Open the destination Organisation home page
  2. Click the three dots next to the Add Project button
  3. Select Import Project
  1. Upload the ZIP file named metadata that was received via email
  1. EasySLR automatically maps the fields and imports the project data.
