The Conflict Analysis feature in EasySLR helps teams quickly identify and understand patterns of reviewer disagreement during the screening process. It delivers data-driven insights and recommendations to refine your protocol, improve decision consistency, and reduce manual conflict resolution.

Why Use Conflict Analysis

• Identify the reasons behind reviewer disagreements.

• Detects unclear or ambiguous inclusion/exclusion criteria.

• Improve protocol precision and reviewer alignment.

• Reduce manual time spent on resolving conflicts.

• Strengthen agreement between human reviewers and AI (if enabled).

When to Run Conflict Analysis

• Available at both Title–Abstract (TiAb) and Full-Text (FT) stages.

• Both reviewers must have completed their screening for the selected stage.

• Works with projects using only human reviewers or AI-assisted review.

How It Works

1. Go to your Project → Tools → Conflict Analysis.

2. Click New Conflict Analysis.

3. Choose the stage (Title–Abstract or Full-Text).

4. Click Analyse Conflicts.

The system will automatically process reviewer decisions and generate:

• Insights into patterns of disagreement.

• Actionable recommendations to refine your protocol.

• Suggestions to improve future reviewer or AI alignment.

Next Steps

• Review the generated insights and update your protocol accordingly.

• If using AI, rerun AI after protocol updates for improved accuracy.

• For unresolved cases, collaborate internally or escalate to the Lead Reviewer for final resolution.
