A guide to Sysrev for collaborative literature and document reviews

Can I invite non-CMU collaborators and will they have access to the premium features?

Yes! As a project owner or administrator, you can invite collaborators from within or outside of CMU. As long as the project owner has a current CMU affiliation, anyone who is a member of the project will be able to access the premium features of Sysrev for that project.

 

Is there a limit to the number of projects I can set up?

No. There is no limit to the number of projects you can set up with your CMU Sysrev account.

 

Will I have access to my Sysrev account after leaving CMU?

When your CMU account is disabled, you will no longer be able to log into Sysrev. We recommend that in advance of leaving CMU you create a new Sysrev account with another email address and transfer any projects that you would like to have access to to that account. Note that you will need a paid premium account to maintain the premium features in those transferred projects.

 

Is there a limit to the number of PDFs I can upload?

Technically, there is no limit. However, we suggest you keep your projects to under 10,000 PDFs and under 50,000 citations, as exceeding these numbers may slow down or inhibit Sysrev's ability to run certain functions.

 

How much does it cost to run the auto-labeler?

It is not possible to exactly calculate the cost of running the auto-labeler per se. The cost is based on the number of records that will be labeled, how many labels are activated, the amount of text in each record, and the current costs for using OpenAI's GPT API. However, if you filter your articles to only those records you intend to label and ensure that your label auto-label settings are correct (see this page for more information about auto-label settings), the auto-labeler will provide you with an accurate estimate of the cost for that set of articles and labels.

 

How do I add more funds to my project to use the auto-labeler?

At this time, users cannot add their own funds to their auto-labeler accounts. Please contact Sarah Young (sarahy@andrew.cmu.edu) or Melanie Gainey (mgainey@andrew.cmu.edu) to inquire about additional funds for your project.

 

Is my data made available to OpenAI for model training when I use the auto-labeler?

No. The data fed into the auto-labeler is not used for model development or improvement.

 

Why is the prediction histogram for the machine learning algorithm not showing up in my project Overview page?

The Sysrev machine learning feature is currently under construction.

 

Something isn't working as I expect it to. Who do I contact about a potential software issue?

For any technical issues, you can use the Report Issue button on the upper righthand corner of any page in your Sysrev project. This will send your error report, as well as a link to your project, to the technical team at Sysrev who will work to address it.
