Using Multiple Filters in EasySLR

Using Multiple Filters in EasySLR

EasySLR provides powerful filtering options to refine your search results, making the literature review process more efficient. By applying multiple filters, you can easily narrow down relevant studies based on a range of criteria such as Title, Author, Journal, Abstract, and Notes.

Combining Filters
You can apply a combination of filters at various stages of your review—whether for screening, downloading, or updating decisions. Simply select the filters you wish to apply (e.g., Title, Author, Journal) from the filter panel. 

Currently, EasySLR uses an "AND" combination of filters, meaning that only studies meeting all selected criteria will be displayed.

Reviewing Filtered Results
As you apply filters, the system will instantly update, showing only the studies that meet the selected criteria. You can adjust and combine filters at any time, allowing you to further refine your search as needed.

Benefits of Using Multiple Filters
Using multiple filters in EasySLR helps reduce the time spent scanning through irrelevant studies, ensuring that you focus only on the most relevant articles for your research. Whether you're screening studies, preparing to download them, or updating decisions, applying the right combination of filters streamlines your workflow and improves accuracy.
