DocCite product tour
Search a clinical trial document. Verify the cited passage.
DocCite searches the study documents you add and opens the cited source for review. These examples use fictional demo protocols in the Web app and on iPad.
1. Ask a question
Search by keyword, phrase, or question.
In this Web example, “What is the storage temperature?” returns the cited statement that the fictional protocol assigns none. The complete supporting passage remains available for review.
2. Open the citation
Read the answer in its original context.
Open the cited result to check its wording in the source. This DOCX example identifies the section and paragraph; the surrounding section is available from the source-view controls.
3. Compare document versions
Compare passages between document versions.
Choose an earlier document and a newer one to review changed passages. In this fictional iPad example, the Week 4 window changes from Day 25–31 to Day 24–32.
Document comparison is available in the current Apple app.
4. Copy the answer with citations
Copy the answer with its source locator.
Use the answer's Copy control to keep its cited evidence and source locator with the text. Check those details against the original document before using the copied answer.
Examples to try with your study documents
Test four recurring questions against your study documents.
The wording and answer will depend on the documents you add. These examples show how the same search-and-review workflow applies to common clinical research files.
Protocol amendment
“What changed for the Week 8 assessment?”
Compare the amendment with the prior protocol language and check which version was in effect for the visit.
Informed consent form
“What does the consent form say about optional future use of samples?”
Open the cited ICF section and read the surrounding consent language before answering the participant's question.
Visit schedule
“What is the allowable window for Visit 4?”
Check the cited schedule or procedure text, then confirm whether notes or footnotes modify the stated window.
