Systematic reviews are a cornerstone of epidemiological research, requiring meticulous management of numerous references. Here’s how Zotero can assist:
1. Data Import: Use Zotero’s browser extension to import references from databases like PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. 2. Organization: Create collections and sub-collections to categorize studies by topic, study design, or other relevant criteria. 3. Screening: Utilize tags and notes to mark studies as included, excluded, or under consideration, and to record reasons for exclusion. 4. Exporting Data: Export references into systematic review software tools such as Covidence or Rayyan for further screening and data extraction.
