Covidence – new eResource

Covidence Institutional Licence is available NOW!

Covidence is a web-based tool that can simplify the processes of systematic and scoping reviews.

Summary of the features:

Import citations – Covidence works seamlessly with your favourite reference managers like EndNote, Zotero, Refworks, Mendeley or any tool that support RIS, CSV or PubMedXML formats

Screen titles and abstracts – Breeze through screening with keyword highlighting & a lightning quick interface. Covidence keeps full records of who voted and also supports single or dual screeners. You can even do it on your mobile when you have a few spare minutes.

Upload references – Transfer PDFs stored in your reference manager to Covidence in a few clicks.

Screen full text – Decide quickly on studies in full text. Capture reasons for exclusion and any notes so you can resolve any disagreements quickly, with a click of a button.

Create forms – Be in control and stay focussed on your PICO question. Customisable extraction forms means you only spend time extracting what you need. It saves you time and money.

Risk of Bias – Automatically populate your risk of bias tables by highlighting and commenting on text directly in your PDF. No more cut and paste.

Do Data Extraction – Extract data efficiently with a side-by-side view of your customised form and PDF. Then, when you’re done, easily compare your form with other reviewers.

Export – Covidence exports to all the common formats so you can continue your review in your preferred software.
