Viewing all disagreements? Modified By Mark Corbett on 23/01/2014 10:54:06

During the course of screening many comparisons of screening decisions can be made (using the 'create comparison' function). In my current review there have been 39 comparisons made across six reviewers.

Is there a function available to list any outstanding disagreements which remain unresolved globally across all comparisons? If not, I think this would be very useful, as the only alternative is to individually check each of the 39 comparisons to ensure that all disagreements have been resolved.

Re: Viewing all disagreements?

Hello Mark,

I can see where this would be a useful function. We are in the process of making a number of changes to the comparison functions. These are tied to our new 'Codeset types' that we will be introducing soon. Having codeset types will give us the ability to have more powerful comparisons.

In the meantime, you might be able to find your outstanding disagreements by looking in the 'Review statistics' tab. For example, if you look in your review you will see that there is one 'incomplete' item under the 'Abstract screening: decision options' codeset. This 'incomplete' item woudl be outstanding. As well there are 5 'incomplete' items under the 'Full paper screening: decision options' codeset that would be outstanding. You can pull up those items by clicking on the number next to the reviewers name.

Best regards,

Jeff
