As the project manager of your systematic review, you create your project in ReLiS as shown in the video.
Initial project configuration
To create the project, you must create an initial configuration. All projects are accessible to all users of ReLiS. This is one way to crowdsource help and guidance on how to write your configuration file. However, they are accessible only in read-only.
To create the configuration, you must:
- Create a folder with a short name of your project. The name must be without spaces, underscores(_) can be used.
- Inside the folder, create a model with the name of your project
You can either write the complete configuration of your project right away or just write the minimum necessary to create an initial version of your project. Then you can come back and enhance it with more features. At minimum, you need to write:
PROJECT short_name "Long name" CLASSIFICATION note
short_name is name of your project and must be unique with no spaces. it is a variable name so it must start with a letter followed by letters, numbers or underscore.
Long name is the full name of your project and has no
restrictions if it is enclosed with quotation marks.
The SCREENING keyword is optional since you can run ReLiS projects without a screening phase if needed.
However, the data extraction form is required and described
after the CLASSIFICATION keyword.
You need at least one data extraction category. The last line in the code above creates a built-in category for adding a note.
Once you have completed your configuration file, right-click on the file and choose Generate. Go back to the Update project page and select the generated installation file. It will be called classification_install_short_name.php,
where short_name is as defined above.
Next steps
You can already start importing articles and add reviewers in your project.
You can find more information on how to configure the screening, the classification, and the reporting in the Help pages.
