Citation Managers for PRISMA

• You can use EndNote or Zotero to manage the flow of citations through the review process.
• Setting up your citation manager folders as shown below will make it easier to complete your PRISMA flow diagram.

To create a foldering system in EndNote:

1. Create a group set
2. Add Groups as you import from each database

To create a foldering system in Zotero that will facilitate reporting in your PRISMA flow diagram:

1. Create a group library in the web version of Zotero
2. Create folders as you import from each database

Then, in either software:

1. Rename folders as shown to the right
2. Use the duplicate tool to remove duplicate citations
   1. Library > Find Duplicates in EndNote -or-
   2. Duplicate Items folder in Zotero
3. Make note of the total number in your group library before and after de-duplication
4. Create 2 new collections
   • Title Abstract Included
   • Full Text Included
5. Copy citations into the corresponding folders as you complete your title/abstract and full text screens
6. Record numbers in your flow diagram
