What is Covidence?

Covidence is a web-based tool designed to make systematic reviews and other evidence syntheses easier to conduct.

Covidence helps you screen title/abstracts and full-text of articles. It also helps with data abstraction. 

You can join the IU Covidence account using your email from any of the IU campuses, and you can invite others to join your review from anywhere in the world. This makes collaborating easy, and you'll stop having to share numerous Endnote libraries or Excel files with multiple reviewers.
