Protocol Mentor

You have a stack of papers and need to know what each study really did.

Screening and appraising articles is slow. Each paper describes its design, methods and statistics differently, and the details that matter are spread across the text.

Reading thirty papers this way takes weeks.

Opening soon

Who it is for

Researchers who need to read, screen and appraise scientific articles.

What it aims to improve

A structured view of each article's design, methods and statistics, with every statement traceable to the text and reviewed by a person.

What it does

Protocol Mentor is planned as a platform that helps you work through scientific articles in a structured way. It is planned and not yet built.

The right method depends on your research question, study design and data. We support your analysis; scientific responsibility for the results stays with you and your team.

What we plan to include

  • A structured summary of each article's study design
  • The methods and statistics set out in a consistent format
  • Every statement linked to the place in the text it comes from
  • A person reviewing the output
  • Later: support for article screening and data extraction in systematic reviews

What is not included

  • Deciding for you whether a study is sound: the judgement stays with you
  • Writing your review or paper
  • Access to articles you do not have the rights to

What you need to bring

  • The kind of articles you work with
  • What you need to extract from them
