  • Once you have the PDFs on your device ready for upload, navigate back to Study Inspector
  • Select “Bulk Actions” → Document Import → Upload from Device
  • Full Texts will match to existing studies based on Title and DOI (Auto-extracted Data) by default

Now, when “Full Text” is selected during Screening, the pdf will automatically appear.

  • You can choose to upload as Full Texts or Supplements
  • Auto-extracted data is selected by default, this uses Title and/or DOI to match full texts to studies
  • If your pdfs do not contain these details, you may want to match them via Ref ID or External ID.
    • Automatic extraction is only available for full text import and will attempt to extract title and DOI for matching to records in your nest. Ref ID matching uses the first number occurring in filenames to match against Ref IDs of records. External ID matching uses the entire filename to match against External IDs of records.
