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:
If you plan to use AI as one of the reviewers, you must set the number of required reviews to 2—one by the human reviewer and one by the AI.
