Teams & Collaboration

EviSyn supports team-based reviews with role-based access control and blinded reviewer groups for methodological rigor.

Team Roles

​

Adding Team Members

1. Navigate to Team settings from the top navigation
2. Invite members by email
3. Assign a role (Admin, Lead Reviewer, or Reviewer)

​

Reviewer Groups (Blinded Review)

For reviews requiring independent, blinded assessment:

​

Setting Up Blinded Review

1. Create 2+ Reviewer Groups (e.g., Group A, Group B)
2. Assign reviewers to each group
3. Enable blinded mode — group members cannot see:
   • AI screening decisions
   • Other groups’ decisions
   • Overall screening statistics

​

Conflict Resolution Workflow

When blinded review is enabled:

1. Each group reviews all papers independently
2. EviSyn automatically identifies conflicts (papers where groups disagree)
3. Conflicts are flagged in the Human Review dashboard
4. A designated Lead Reviewer resolves each conflict with a final decision
5. The resolution and reasoning are logged in the audit trail

​

Inter-Rater Agreement

EviSyn automatically calculates Cohen’s kappa when 2+ reviewer groups exist: This metric is required for publication in most systematic review journals and is computed automatically — no manual calculation needed.

​

Project-Level Collaboration

Each project tracks:

• Which team member made each screening decision
• Who performed each data extraction
• Who confirmed quality assessments
• Complete activity log with user attribution
