What is Covidence?

Covidence stands for "Collaboration + Evidence"; it is an online platform supporting evidence synthesis projects like systematic and scoping reviews. Covidence streamlines parts of the systematic review process, making it easy to:

  • screen references (both title/abstract and full-text)
  • create and populate data extraction forms
  • complete your risk of bias tables
  • divide up the work among your team of reviewers
  • track the progress of the project
