Rayyan for Systematic Reviews

An introduction to getting started with Rayyan.

Exporting References

After you have completed your initial title/abstract screening process in Rayyan, you may want to export your references. 

On the Screening page, filter the articles you want to export using the Filter by Inclusion facet (shown in the image below on the left-hand side) or the Filters facet (upside-down triangle, shown in the image below on the right-hand side). 

Locate the Review Settings at the top right of the toolbar (look for "...") and select Export​​​​​​.

You can choose the file format, whether to include abstracts, decisions, exclusion reasons, labels, and notes, and the format of the authors' names (First Name, Last Name or Last Name, First Name). Your references will be downloaded to your device as a zip file.
