Upload Keywords in Bulk

If you have multiple keywords and want to add them in bulk, then use the Upload Keywords feature. Click the Download Template button on the Upload Keywords page to download the template. The downloaded template also includes the keywords that already exist in the project.

The downloaded template provides the following tabs:

• Data Definitions: Contains the acceptable values that can be used to fill values in the Keywords tab.
• Keywords: Displays the existing keywords in the project and also allows you to add new keywords.
  • Keyword: Specify the keyword that you want to upload.
  • Include Exclude: Select whether you want to classify it as include or an exclude keyword.
  • Strong Keyword: Select Strong if you want to bold the specific keyword.
  • PICOS: Select the relevant PICOS classification for the keyword.
• Topkeys: Provides a list of keywords extracted from the articles that are uploaded in the project. You can select the keywords from this sheet and add them if they are not added to your project.
• Instructions: Provides instructions to add information in the template.

For example, we are adding the following keywords where we have specified the keyword name, the include/exclude criteria, and whether the keyword is a strong keyword or not.

After you have added all the relevant keywords in the appropriate tab, save the file and perform the following steps to upload the file.

1. Download the template by going to Settings > Keywords > Download Template. The Excel file is downloaded.
