PICO Portal is easy to use, efficient, and time saving; especially when collaborating with colleagues.
At Coreva Scientific, we conduct many literature reviews, and therefore we greatly appreciate that the PICO Portal team had an open ear to our suggestions. We were also impressed by how quickly they implemented additional functions we needed to streamline our review process. Functions such as tags, extensive reports, and highlighting of key words are very helpful.
My experience with PICO Portal has been extremely positive.
PICO Portal has efficiently and expediently helped us work through the process of systematically reviewing articles. The team at PICO Portal is helpful and I would recommend PICO Portal to other researchers as well.
Highlighting and bolding of words specific to our review made things so much faster.
It made it quick to look – you see it right there. You know within seconds it’s something you want to include. You click ‘include’ and that’s all you have to do.
All in all, I would recommend PICO Portal and would use it again.
It makes it easy to manage the large volume of studies in my review. It is also helpful when working with a large team with members from multiple institutions who may not have access to the same shared drives or intranet.
PICO Portal has greatly streamlined the review process: de-duplication, highlighting importing keywords
All the members of the team were able to access the portal at the same time, thus enabling seamless collaboration across teams and locations. I would absolutely recommend it to other researchers for their reviews because it is easy to set up, intuitive to use, it standardizes the process, and it saves time during abstract review, and presenting the full text for full text review.
