Example result
Literature matrix: 3 studies on remote work and employee wellbeing
Structured notes: Paper 1
Harlow & Byrne (2022), "Home as office: a two-wave study of remote employees"
- Research question: Does moving to fully remote work change emotional exhaustion over 12 months?
- Method: two-wave online survey, baseline and 12 months later
- Sample: 612 office employees from 9 mid-sized firms; 71% retained at wave 2
- Key findings: exhaustion fell slightly overall, but rose among employees with children under 6 and those without a separate room to work in
- Limitations: self-report only; firms chose to take part, which may favour well-managed companies
- Quotable: "The home was not the problem; the absence of a door was" (p. 14)
Comparison matrix
| Harlow & Byrne (2022) | Mendez et al. (2023) | Okafor (2024) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design | Longitudinal survey, 2 waves | Cross-sectional survey | Qualitative interviews |
| Sample | 612 employees, 9 firms | 1,480 employees, one country | 28 team leads |
| Work mode | Fully remote | Remote, hybrid, office | Hybrid |
| Wellbeing measure | Emotional exhaustion scale | Life satisfaction, 1 item | Themes from interviews |
| Main effect | Small decrease in exhaustion | Hybrid highest satisfaction | Hybrid adds coordination stress for managers |
| Key moderator | Childcare, workspace | Commute length | Team size |
| Main limitation | Self-selected firms | Single-item measure, no causality | Small, one sector |
Themes and agreements
- Conditions matter more than location. All three studies point to home setup, commute or team size as what decides whether remote work helps or hurts (Harlow & Byrne p. 14; Mendez et al. p. 9; Okafor p. 22).
- Hybrid looks best for employees, but Okafor shows the cost moves to managers, who plan around whose day it is in the office.
Contradictions
- Harlow & Byrne find exhaustion falls with full remote work; Mendez et al. find fully remote employees report lower life satisfaction than hybrid ones. The two measure different things (exhaustion vs. overall satisfaction), so they may not truly conflict.
Gaps
- No study follows people for more than 12 months.
- None compares employees and their managers within the same teams.
- Wellbeing of employees with disabilities is not analysed separately in any of the three.

About this service
In a systematic or scoping review, each record found in the search has to be screened against the same inclusion and exclusion criteria, and every decision needs a recorded reason for the PRISMA flow diagram. Send your search results exported to Excel (titles and abstracts) or the full texts as PDF, with your eligibility criteria, and we screen each record against each criterion, mark it include, exclude or unsure and record the reason. The table is a first screening to speed up your team's work: a second reviewer and your team make the final decisions.
What is included
- What you getAn Excel screening table with one row per record, a column per criterion, the decision and the reason, plus counts by decision and reason for your PRISMA diagram, and a Word note on criteria that were hard to apply. Records marked unsure are left for your reviewers.
- Criterion by criterionEach record checked against each rule
- Decision and reasonInclude, exclude or unsure, with why
- PRISMA countsRecords by decision and exclusion reason
- Unsure recordsLeft for your reviewers to decide
- Criteria notesWhere wording caused doubt

What we need from you
Your search results as an Excel file with titles and abstracts (exported from your reference manager or database), or for full-text screening the papers as PDF with selectable text, your inclusion and exclusion criteria (PICO or similar), the review question and whether this is title-and-abstract or full-text screening.
We will ask you:
- What is your review question?
- What are your inclusion and exclusion criteria?
- Is this title-and-abstract or full-text screening?
- Should unsure records lean to include or exclude?

Questions and answers
Can this replace a second reviewer?
No. Review standards expect decisions by your review team. Use the table as a first pass that your reviewers check and confirm.
Will you run the search for me?
No, we screen only the records you export and send. We do not search databases or remove duplicates across databases unless they are in your file.
How many records fit in one order?
Up to 30, 60 or 100 records with abstracts, or 2, 3 or 5 full texts, depending on the package. For larger searches, split the export and keep the same criteria.
