thanks for your video Gary - I'm a research librarian at a University and I help researchers with their Systematic Reviews very regularly. You have suggested some great ideas for how to organise EndNote to help with your systematic review and to be consistent with the PRISMA flow diagram. I really liked some of the things you did like adding the number of results to the group name - because of the issue you explain... when you deduplicate the numbers change!!! It's quite possible do all the screening in EndNote (although there are other products which help guide the process a little better than EndNote can - and also make it easier to share the job of sharing with your reviewers eg Rayyan). But the nature of SRs means you need a reviewer/s to reduce bias (meaning ideally each article should be screened by two people - doesn't always happen in reality though) - EndNote can be a little tricky to share the library but it is possible. Just a small thing, EBSCOHost is a platform which includes lots of different databases and each library will subscribe to a different combination of databases - so in order for your SR to be replicable you need to search and record the results of each of the EBSCOHost databases separately (eg Academic search premier, CINAHL, EconLit, Education Research Complete etc). Also your choice of databases will depend on your topic. I don't mean to be self promoting, but your friendly librarian (sometimes called Liaison Librarian, Reference Librarian, Research Librarian, Faculty Librarian etc) at universities, especially those with experience in health disciplines are likely to have expertise in SRs and they will be able to advise which databases will give you the best coverage of your specific - they will also be able to assist with developing the best search strategy for your topic (which of course comes before this stage!) - and lots else besides.
Gary, this. was. amazing. Can't thank you enough for your guidance! Before watching the vid, I was imagining old-school ways of trying to keep track of duplicates and #s. What a nightmare! Cheers to you!
Thank you so much Gary. I found your video is super helpful and practical. Could I please ask if you know how to report the number of records identified from each database searched on the PRISMA flow diagram , the page you mentioned in your video?
Hi Gary! Such a wonderful and an insightful video. From what I saw there, I would say that you suggested to do the title-abstract and full paper screening on the EndNote. Just wondering, do you have any tips how to execute those activities together with our colleague who does not have EndNote app?
Thank you so much for your guide Gary! It's my first time working with, Prisma, Endnote and the other tools you show. When you show the two files (from Ebsco aso.)you want to import, i can see there is allot of files imported at once? did you download all the "articles" available about the topic when you searched in all the databases? And how did you save them all in one file? Is it nessary to download them all in one file or can i create a folder for each database and choose the files i want to save in them before uploading them in Endnote? Im trying to understand how you saved the files, if there is allot of databases and files before importing them to Endnote?
Thanks Gary. Was very helpful, cheers I'm undertaking a scoping review via Griffith Uni, which is also based in Queensland - - were you and your family OK during the floods? I'm in Sydney and those rains hit us too, I'm afraid
Thanks a lot! I am going to use PRISMA for my master thesis in psychology, but I would love to know more about the need for one more person when doing the systematic review. Does that other person need to look through the same searches as me from scratch? Is there a valid way to do the search process without the other person needing to go through each and every one of my searchlines? I am worried it will be way too much work for any of my student friends to find the time for, and I am wondering if there is a way to give this other person a little less work to do, but with the work beeing valid still. If I did some searches in PubMed and saved every study that was relevant to the topic in a folder, and then had another person look through, would that be ok? Where can I read about this.
Hi Kris, all the best for your thesis 👍. I'm not knowledgeable enough on these specifics to answer. If anyone else reading this comment can answer, please add your answer below...
Hi Husam, I say in the video that I'm not an expert however don't mention PRISMA experts ... This is probably where to start with your PRISMA investigations - prisma-statement.org/
It's worth noting that Endnote's behavior of actually deleting the duplicate from the database (and associated groups) is problematic. Zotero does not do this. When duplicates are removed in that, it won't remove them from groups, but rather make it so both groups now refer to the same entry. I've emailed Endnote annually about this for several years, and they keep saying it is in the works, and have yet to address this weakness. It makes their deduplicating function worthless in larger libraries.
Thanks a lot for this information and video. If you could just upload a video with more details. For example - how to enter the keywords, how to filter the search results in SCOPUS or WEB OF SCIENCE etc.
I have searched the whole youtube to find this, really thank you so much for the video. Helped me to start off my first Meta-analysis
Glad it helped 👍
It is so useful for people who like me the first time do meta-analysis. So grateful for your video!
Glad it helped 👍
Gary, You're a champion!.... Very, very helpful... Thanks heaps...
Glad it helped Jack 👍

Thanks for your submission
These are excellent points. Thank you.
I'm getting ready to do a SR this year as part of my Masters, and this video is going to be super helpful! Thank you so much!
Glad it helped 👍
Thank you Gary, its my first time viewing how to use End note linking it to PRISMA. Thanks mate stay blessed.
Glad it helped Muhammad 👍

Grazie Mille ! very useful tips o how set up Endnote when starting a systematic review! thank you
Glad it helped 👍
Thank you so much Gary. I found your video is super helpful and practical. Could I please ask if you know how to report the number of records identified from each database searched on the PRISMA flow diagram , the page you mentioned in your video?
Hi Sarah, If you go to estech.shinyapps.io/prisma_flowdiagram/ and then click "Create flow diagram" you'll see how simple it is to use the tool.
This is a great video. Thank you so much Gary
Glad it helped👍
Hi Gary! Such a wonderful and an insightful video. From what I saw there, I would say that you suggested to do the title-abstract and full paper screening on the EndNote. Just wondering, do you have any tips how to execute those activities together with our colleague who does not have EndNote app?
I haven't used that process previously so unfortunately don't have any tips.
Thanks Gary! Great explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
Such a helpful video- thank you so much!

I'm undertaking a scoping review via Griffith Uni, which is also based in Queensland -
- were you and your family OK during the floods?
I'm in Sydney and those rains hit us too, I'm afraid
Hi Ben. Glad the video helped. Yip, the floods were pretty bad!
this video is helpful that I canceled my appointment with the librarian. thnx heaps .
Glad it helped :)
HUGE help!
Glad it helped Danielle 😁
Really helpful, thank you.
Glad it helped Clair 👍
Its very helpfull thanks
Glad it helped
Thank you! But how do you download the papers from Scopus database into that .ris format which you finally imported into endnote ?
Here are instructions - guides.library.uab.edu/scopus/endnote
Great video- but how did you get your references for all the search results ?
Hi Tamanna, I typically use Web of Science, Scopus and EBSCOhost.
Thanks a lot! I am going to use PRISMA for my master thesis in psychology, but I would love to know more about the need for one more person when doing the systematic review. Does that other person need to look through the same searches as me from scratch?

@1:09, can you mention those PRESMA experts?

100% This is a big issue with EndNote and is very frustrating!
Thanks a lot for this information and video. If you could just upload a video with more details. For example - how to enter the keywords, how to filter the search results in SCOPUS or WEB OF SCIENCE etc.
Please see the Scopus or WoS websites as they have good documentation on how to search more effectively.
