From question to candidate list in minutes
- Write the review question and criteria. Pick a template (intervention, diagnostic, prognostic, qualitative) and Evidex proposes the fields to pull from each paper.
- Tune the Europe PMC search with live hit counts. Every keystroke shows how many papers match, with a preview of the first ones. Open access is a filter you choose, never a limit.
- Import what you ran elsewhere. RIS from Embase and Scopus, PubMed XML or nbib, CSV from CENTRAL and Web of Science. A malformed file saves nothing and tells you the line.
- Get one list and the counts. Duplicates are removed by DOI, PMID, PMCID and title, with the rule shown for each, and uncertain pairs are left for you to decide. Up to 10,000 unique candidates per review.
Complete, not just open access
Searches cover all of Europe PMC. Each paper records whether its full text can be read in your browser and under which licence.
PRISMA counts per source
Identified, duplicates removed and unique, for every database you added, always in step with the list.
