Does AccuScreener support both title/abstract and full-text screening ?

Yes. AccuScreener supports both title/abstract screening and full-text screening. Teams can import references, screen records against eligibility criteria, identify full-text candidates, upload or match full-text PDFs, and complete final screening decisions.

How the stages differ

  1. Title/abstract screening: uses citation metadata and abstract text to decide whether a record should progress.
  2. Full-text screening: uses the uploaded article or document to make a more detailed eligibility decision.
  3. Downstream handoff: included full-text studies can support extraction, appraisal, document analysis, and report drafting.

The workflow keeps decisions, exclusion reasons, reviewer assignments, conflicts, and documents connected for auditability.

This staged approach helps teams manage a review from citation-level triage to document-level eligibility. Users can start with broad screening decisions, then bring forward the records that need full-text review, document matching, exclusion-reason capture, and downstream use in extraction or appraisal.
