Covidence

This guide will help you set up an account in Covidence and provide basic instructions for how to screen studies for a review.

What Is Covidence?

Covidence is a systematic review tool that researchers can use for title/abstract screening, full-text screening, data abstraction, and quality assessment. Covidence was designed by researchers familiar with the systematic review process in order to make conducting reviews more efficient.
