What is the Importance of the "Number of Reviews Required Per Article" setting?

The "Number of Reviews Required Per Article" setting in EasySLR determines how many independent reviewers (or votes) must assess an article before a final inclusion or exclusion decision is made at a particular stage—such as Title-Abstract Screening or Full-Text Screening.

Examples:
  • Targeted Literature Review (TLR):
     You may set the number of reviews required to 1, as these reviews are generally more flexible and time-sensitive.
  • Systematic Literature Review (SLR):
     Best practice is to set it to 2 to ensure rigorous, independent screening by two reviewers for higher accuracy and reliability.
Using AI as a Reviewer:

For Systematic Literature Reviews (SLRs), AI works alongside a human reviewer as one of the reviewers.

For Targeted Literature Reviews (TLRs), AI can act as the sole reviewer, with a human reviewer providing oversight and performing QC on the decisions.
