Moving to the full-text screen

Rayyan provides a way to complete title, abstract, and full-text screening using the concept of stages while leaving you in complete control over which data to add to full-text screening.

Make sure to complete the Screening process for your review.

When you add your data, you can select the references you want to add from the Screening stage: Included, Maybe, and/or Labeled references.
