What is Rayyan and what does it do?

Rayyan is an AI-powered online platform for systematic and literature reviews.  The platform allows you to import and deduplicate references, screen abstracts and full text articles, resolve conflicts, and more.  Rayyan uses AI in its screening functionality.  Rayyan can be used throughout the review process from documenting inclusion criteria to screening full texts of references.   

While Rayyan offers paid subscriptions at various tiers, there is a free version that you can access for no cost that contains many of the core functions.
