Creating a project

What the form asks for

A project needs a name, and it helps to add a sentence saying what question the study answers. The name appears in your project list and on every export, so name it after the study.

One switch decides whether non-plant comparator proteins are allowed. It is off by default, and dairy, egg, meat and microbial proteins are then treated as out of scope. Turn it on only if your study needs comparators, and list which ones in the study configuration.

What happens automatically

Whoever creates a project becomes its owner. The project is private: nobody else can see it until you invite them.

An owner has full control of the scope and criteria, the team, export, archiving and deletion. A project always keeps at least one owner.

Do these three things next

A new project has no criteria yet, so screening and extraction have nothing to work from.

• Write the study configuration. Nothing later works well without it.
• Invite the people who will screen and review, giving each the role that fits their work.
• Run one small search and look at the results before running the full query.

Archiving and deleting

Archive a finished project instead of deleting it. An archived project is read-only: its papers, decisions and exports stay readable, and the archive can be undone.

Deleting is permanent. You type the project name to confirm, and the project is removed together with its papers, files, extracted values and memberships.
