Airtable for systematic review?

I’m trying to see if Airtable can be used for a systematic literature review and I was wondering if someone had any advice on this. What I am trying to do is extract certain data from ~300 scientific articles. 2 people from my team need to review each paper and then a third person has to compare the extracted data to make sure it matches. Does anyone have any templates that could help with this? I’m making a form to submit for each paper to make the data extraction easier, but I’m unsure how to account for the fact that each paper needs to be reviewed twice.

Would you not create a new record for each person who reviews the paper and the use the Group function to compare the two reviews for the same paper?

Paper 1 reviewed by Person A…
Paper 1 reviewed by Person B…

Paper 2 reviewed by Person A…
Paper 2 reviewed by Person B…

Or are you trying to have one record for each paper with both reviewers notes on it?

Paper 1, Person A Notes, Person B Notes

You could create a form for each reviewer that was setup for the fields that their data will be entered into.
