Objectives: Introduce the core concepts behind the EPPI-Reviewer architecture. Provide a general overview of how to use it according to different needs (meta-analyses, mixed-methods, narrative, meta-ethnographies, etc.).

Description: The workshop will focus on the key elements of EPPI-Reviewer, concentrating on the features that are designed explicitly to support flexibility. Participants will be guided through the overall structure of the software, including highlights on the latest developments (machine learning, priority screening, etc) and hints at future plans. Practical exercises will aim at trying out a few of the showcased features giving each participant the chance to try out the methodologies and approaches that best suit their use-case.
This session is suitable for reviewers who are just starting to use EPPI-Reviewer, or are already using the program and are ready to learn more.
The ideal participant would have some experience in conducting systematic reviews (although beginners are welcome); attendees will be encouraged to propose a particular methodological problem that they expect to face in their future work. Examples include:
- Iterative methods.
- Managing overwhelming numbers of search results.
- Mixed-methods reviews.
- Managing evidence heterogeneity.

Participants should bring their own laptop to the session, working in small groups will be encouraged.
