Layered review (on title, abstract and full article)
Make it possible to enter a layered review structure.
Often researchers start with screening articles on title. The articles selected on title will be screened on abstract. And thereafter on full article.

Have a 'Primary Researcher' override option for inclusion/exclusion decisions
Most reviews will have a primary researcher that may review all title/abstract results, with collaborators doing a percentage for inclusion validity/reliability. It is likely there will be some conflict, and there needs to be a 'resolution' or 'override' function available to the primary researcher. These conflicting results still need to be resolved, but at the moment they are automatically excluded.

Uploading PDFs
Good if you can develop a facility to upload PDF full-texts direct from the source like the way EndNote and Mendeley do, Or
Good if you can develop a facility to upload references from EndNote/Mendeley along with the PDF full-texts when it is available with the citation.43 votes -
Speeding up the selection
Great software that makes systematic review easy.
After hitting "I" or "E" to include or exclude a paper respectively, it would be good to have the selection move automatically onto the next paper.
In the mobile app, it would be useful to just show the title and allow to include/exclude articles instead of seeing the abstract.

Cleaner Export to CSV
Better export to csv for easier analysis. As it is right now, filtering is difficult because labels get lumped in with exclusion decisions, and there's lots of cleanup in excel. Just pipe those to different columns and we'd be golden.

keep all original bibliographic data
keep all original bibliographic data!
When uploading references and subsequently downloading these references some information is lost. eg the following fields are empty after downloading from rayyan. DOI, name of database, database provider, keywords, date field. These field are at times necessary for further processing so would it be possible to leave the original reference intact when exporting back to reference software.

Allowing all collaborators to see user-created labels and exclusion reasons in Blind mode.
While it is necessary to have the blind mode on during double screening (so that one reviewer's decision does not influence the other's decision), being able to designate labels or generate more specific exclusion criteria reasons (at least on the part of the review creator) that can be used by all reviewers would be extremely helpful. Labels allow designation of a subset of articles for intial screening, and exclusion reasons often need to be made more specific for the review at hand. This is true regardless of the need for Blind mode.

Backup and restore review file to and from local computer
A feature to download a backup file of the running review to local computer, which contain all the decisions made till now and restore it if any thing goes wrong with the main online file. This will give extra piece of mind when reviewing a big list of documents (eg. more than a 1000 articles)

Link article DOI
PubMed records often include DOI field. Linking to the article via DOI resolver would speed up full text assessment where needed.

easy way to go where you left off in rayyan app
In de Rayyan app it would be nice if you can go immediately to where you left off, especially when you have a lot of references, now you have to scroll endless to get at ref 1400 eg (and still 600 to go). It would be great if you can jump to a number of your references

Continue study selection from last stop on mobile app
In the mobile app, whenever one does study selection and stop, the next time it starts from the first study and requires to scroll down to where the selection has to continue.
This could be improved such that one can continue selection from the area where he/she lastly stopped. The app is quite handy and study selection could be done even during commuting.
