The typical process for screening is to read the title and abstract, answer the optional questions, and indicate whether a specific reference should be included or excluded. As soon as you’ve made a choice for the required “Inclusion/Exclusion” question, the “Save and Next” button will be enabled. When you click the “Save and Next” button, the application will immediately show you the next reference, where you will repeat the same screening process.
