How do I log inclusion and exclusion decisions during a literature review?

You log inclusion and exclusion decisions during a literature review by recording detailed justifications and reviewer information into a screening_log.csv file, ensuring protocol-grounded and auditable screening outcomes for your systematic review workflow.

What is protocol-driven paper screening and how does it work?

Protocol-driven paper screening ensures all title and abstract inclusion or exclusion decisions are grounded in an approved protocol document. This process systematically evaluates candidate papers and generates a clean decision log for the next review stage.

Can I use this for screening papers based on a predefined protocol?

Yes, you can use this Skill for screening papers based on a predefined protocol. It supports systematic review workflows by ensuring protocol adherence and generating an auditable log of decisions, reasons, and reviewer information.

Does systematic review screening require a separate decision log file?

Systematic review screening requires a separate decision log file to maintain auditable outcomes. This Skill generates a screening_log.csv capturing detailed decisions, reasons, and reviewer information to ensure protocol-grounded screening results.

What is the best way to ensure auditable outcomes in a literature review?

The best way to ensure auditable outcomes in a literature review is to record inclusion or exclusion decisions with justifications into a CSV log file. This approach grounds screening in a predefined protocol and creates a clean log for downstream stages.
