Covidence

The Reeves Health Sciences Library can assist with planning, conducing, and reporting systematic reviews and other types of research.

Covidence is a web-based tool that will help you through the process of screening your references, data extraction, and keeping track of your work. It is particularly useful for researchers conducting a systematic review, meta-analysis or clinical guideline.

Covidence is designed to be used after you have developed a final search strategy for each database you plan to search as part of your review. Please contact the library for assistance with developing database specific search strategies. Librarian involvement usually ends with the literature search.

What Covidence can Do for You:

• Easily manage bulk citation imports from EndNote, Zotero, Refworks, Mendeley or any tool that supports RIS, CSV, or PumMed XML formats.
• Automatically remove duplicate citations
• Quickly screen studies for inclusion/exclusion
• Transfer and store PDFs in your reference manager to Covidence in a few clicks.
• Extract data and assess the quality of the study
• Easily build a PRISMA flow chart (Covidence keeps track of the number of citations and various stages of review)
