How to export references/articles in Rayyan?

Rayyan allows you to export your review articles in various formats, making it easy to share or use your data elsewhere. Here’s how you can export articles from your review:

Step 1: Select the Articles to Export

• Go to the Screening page of your review.
• Use the Filters workbench on the right side to filter the articles you want to copy. You can filter by inclusion criteria to select only Included, Excluded, or Maybe articles.
  
• Additionally, you can use Rayyan’s NLP-enabled search to refine your selection.

Step 2: Locate the Review Settings

• In the toolbar at the top right, click on the Review Settings icon (represented by an ellipsis "…").
  

Step 3: Select "Export" from the Dropdown Menu

• In the dropdown menu, select Export to open the export options.
  

Step 4: Configure Export Options

In the Export options box, configure the following:

• Select Filtered to export only the articles in your filtered dataset, or All to export all articles from the review.
  
• Choose the format to export the articles in: RefMan, BibTeX, EndNote, or CSV.
  
• Decide whether to include abstracts, decisions, labels, and exclusion reasons.
• Choose the format for author names: Last, First or First Last.
• After selecting your options, click Export.
  

Step 6: Download Your Export File

• Rayyan will generate an export file that is downloadable via a link sent to your email.

• Click on the link in the email to download your zip file.
  

  The downloaded zip file will contain:

  • The articles file with Rayyan-specific information (e.g., decisions, labels, exclusion reasons) appended to the notes field of each record.
  • The customizations_log file which tracks the history of all actions performed on the review. This includes timestamps, user emails, article IDs, and details of the actions taken.
    • The included key in the log file indicates the decision on the article (-1 for Exclude, 0 for Maybe, 1 for Include).
    • For labels/reasons, the log will show the action performed (1 for added, -1 for deleted).
