Covidence

The Library is able to provide full access to Covidence at no charge for Rush affiliates.  Even if you previously had a trial account with Covidence, you are able to create a full review with no "trial" restrictions at no charge through your Rush affiliation.

A few tips help get you started:

• Many people find it helpful to have search terms/keywords highlighted as they review the title/abstract.  For more information on this process, review Covidence's documentation:
  https://support.covidence.org/help/highlighting-keywords
• To add reviewers, click on Settings, then Add/Remove Reviewers (along the top)
• You can change the number of reviewers required at each stage (it defaults to two) on that same page
• To add people to your team (Covidence calls them “reviewers”), click on Settings, then Add/Remove Reviewers (along the top).  This will send them an email inviting them to join the review.

The first step is importing the citations.  If the librarian has assisted you in your literature search, this is sometimes done by the librarian.  For more information on importing citations, see the tabs to the left.  A step-by-step guide has been created for each of the major databases.

Once the citations are imported, you are ready to screen the title and abstract of each citation!
