Description

Covidence allows research teams to move through the stages of evidence syntheses more efficiently while tracking and documenting their progress.

Covidence can assist with multiple steps in the systematic review/evidence synthesis process, including:

  • Importing data from citation management tools like EndNote or databases
  • Screening and selecting studies
  • Resolving conflicts
  • Extracting study data
  • Assessing study quality/risk of bias
  • Exporting data to multiple file types
  • Creating PRISMA flow diagrams

Health Sciences Librarians at Abbott Library are available to assist with planning, searching, and reporting stages of knowledge syntheses. Please visit Evidence Synthesis with the Health Sciences Librarians at Abbott Library for more information.
