Description

Covidence, a web-based tool licensed by the UC Berkeley Library, helps with your systematic and other literature reviews, which are popular processes to summarize and synthesize literature in your topic of interest. Covidence helps you organize and track progress on your review, from search results to extraction.

In Covidence, you can:

  • Work individually or with a team of reviewers;
  • Import journal article citations;
  • Screen titles and abstracts;
  • Upload full article PDFs;
  • Screen full text;
  • Resolve reviewer conflicts and calculate inter-rater reliability scores;
  • Create forms for critical appraisal;
  • Perform risk of bias tables;
  • Complete data extraction, and;
  • Export a PRISMA flowchart.

This interactive workshop will take you through these steps, starting with creating your UC Berkeley Covidence account. How to add reviewers or make changes mid-review, how to develop exclusion criteria, and how to get help will be covered. There will be plenty of time for Q & A during this session; you are welcome to raise questions about your specific review or review process.
