EviSyn guides you through a structured, sequential workflow aligned with the PRISMA 2020 reporting framework. Each step has built-in validation gates — you can’t skip ahead until the current step is complete.
Identification & Screening
These first five steps take you from a research question to a finalized set of relevant papers.
Analysis & Export
Once your paper set is finalized, these steps handle deep analysis and output generation.
Progress Tracking
The Workflow at a Glance sidebar on your project dashboard shows live stats:
- Total papers in your library
- Duplicates detected
- AI Included / AI Excluded from screening
- Finalized papers for analysis
The blue “Continue Your Review” banner always tells you the recommended next step. Follow it for the smoothest experience.
Validation Gates
EviSyn enforces quality through validation gates between stages:
- You can’t start screening until papers are imported
- You can’t finalize until human review conflicts are resolved
- You can’t run quality assessment until papers are finalized
- Each stage must be explicitly marked complete before the next unlocks
This prevents incomplete work from propagating through your review.
