By using the PRISMA 2020 Flow Diagram Generator ("the tool"), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the tool.

Use of the tool

The tool is free to use for personal, academic and commercial work. You are responsible for the accuracy of the numbers, labels and reasons you enter, and for checking that your final diagram meets your journal's and reviewers' requirements.

Your diagrams and attribution

Diagrams you create are yours to use. The wording and structure of the flow diagram follow the official PRISMA 2020 templates, which are licensed under CC BY 4.0. Please cite the source when you publish:

The tool, its design, its code and its original text are the property of Biswajeeban Mishra and all rights are reserved, except for the PRISMA 2020 template content described above, which is licensed under CC BY 4.0. Diagrams you create remain yours. You may not copy, resell or redistribute the tool itself without permission.

No affiliation

This is an independent, community-built tool. It is not produced, endorsed by or affiliated with the PRISMA or EQUATOR Network groups. "PRISMA" is used only to describe the reporting guideline the diagrams follow.

No warranty

The tool is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose or uninterrupted availability. Features may change or be removed at any time.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the authors and contributors are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the tool, including lost data, rejected manuscripts or errors in a diagram. Because data is stored only in your browser, you should keep your own backups using "Save progress".
