Step 1: Full Paper Download
Navigate to Full Paper Download from your project dashboard.
Upload PDFs
Two upload zones are available:Upload PDFs for Existing Papers
Drag and drop PDFs for papers already in your shortlist. EviSyn auto-matches PDFs to papers by DOI, title, or filename.
Upload Additional Papers

Automatic Retrieval
EviSyn also attempts to retrieve PDFs automatically from:Step 2: Full-Text Screening
Navigate to Full-Text Screening — the AI reads each complete paper and evaluates relevance.

Stats Dashboard
Screening Controls
- Screen All Pending — Run AI screening on all papers with available full text

What the AI Analyzes
For each paper with a PDF, the AI:- Reads the entire document (not just the abstract)
- Evaluates relevance section by section (Methods, Results, Population, Intervention, Outcomes)
- Generates a relevance score (0-100)
- Provides section-by-section notes
- Cites specific passages as evidence
