ROSES Flow Diagrams

The ROSES flow diagrams are templates for recording the flow of articles through searching, screening, coding/meta-data extraction, data extraction, critical appraisal and synthesis for systematic reviews and systematic maps. They can be tailored by reviewers as necessary, but the templates constitute a minimum level of detail needed in any schematic of a review process.
