Team, roles and notifications
Each review has its own team with its own roles. Invitations arrive by e-mail or by link, and the platform tells you about everything that needs your attention.
Roles within a review
| Role | Can |
|---|---|
| Coordinator (review owner) | Everything: protocol, team, modes, resolve conflicts, approve extractions, export. |
| Reviewer | Screen, extract, assess risk of bias, comment. |
| Third reviewer | Like a reviewer, plus resolving conflicts. |
| Reader | See everything without changing anything. For supervisors, the library or assessors. |
Inviting
- Review → Team → Invite.
- Enter the e-mail and the role. If the person already has an account they join the review directly; otherwise they get a link to create one.
- Without SMTP, create an invitation link and send it through any channel. It expires in 7 days.
Sharing the work out
In the screening coordinator view you can assign references to specific reviewers (in blocks, equal shares or by hand) and follow each person’s progress. Unassigned references can be screened by any reviewer.
Notifications
The bell in the top menu flags new conflicts, mentions in comments, invitations and assigned tasks. Under Profile → Notifications you choose which ones to receive by e-mail and in the mobile app as well (chapter 18).
Comments and mentions
Any reference accepts comments. Write @name to alert a colleague. Comments show in screening, in conflict resolution and in the list.
