Halden Institute
Halden Institute halved the time it takes to write a systematic review.

faster first drafts
“Our reviews used to start with a shared spreadsheet and end with an argument. Now every claim in the draft opens the page it came from.”
Hana Sato
Research lead
Halden’s team of twelve publishes four systematic reviews a year. Each one used to begin with a spreadsheet of a few hundred papers and a long thread about who had read what.
The problem
Highlights lived in four different tools. When a draft reached review, nobody could say quickly where a sentence came from.
What changed
The team moved its library into one shared Oriel project. Notes stay next to the paragraph they belong to, and drafts keep live citations.
The result
The first full draft of their latest review took eleven weeks instead of twenty-two, and the reviewers’ questions were answered with links rather than emails.
