Use the link in the Database A-Z list to access Rayyan, the screening and citation management tool for systematic reviews and other evidence synthesis projects. Sign up with your O-Key email address and password to receive institutional access provided by OSU.

  • Click the Login or Start for Free options on the homepage to begin the authentication process.
  • Use the Microsoft or Enterprise ID options to access Rayyan with your O-Key email address and password.
  • After authenticating, you may choose to create a Rayyan account but this step is not required.

If you follow these steps but find yourself stuck in a login loop, use the following steps to resolve it.

  1. First, confirm your account: go to the regular Rayyan Sign In page and click "Didn't receive confirmation instructions?"
    1. Alternatively, use this direct link: rayyan.ai/users/confirmation/new
  2. Enter your OSU email address to re-send the account confirmation instructions.
  3. The confirmation email from Rayyan should arrive within a few minutes. If it does not, check your spam/junk folder.
  4. Once the account is confirmed, use the Enterprise ID/SSO page to login: rayyan.ai/users/sso/sign_in
  5. Make sure to user your OSU O-Key email address and password so the login connects properly to OSU's account.
