Before you can start screening, you will have to import the references you found during your searches. This video will demonstrate how to do that using EndNote. You can also find instructions in this help document and troubleshooting FAQ.
To get started, click on Title and Abstract Screening to open the summary window, which provides a status update about this stage of the review. Next, click on the blue Continue button to see the references that need to be reviewed. You can change the order of the references if you'd like as well.
Next, read the title and abstract for each reference and select one of the following:

This video provides an overview of the title and abstract screening process.
