This one and a half hour online training in the NIH Library Evidence Synthesis Review series provides an overview on how to use Covidence, a web-based tool, for your review. The training covers the basic features of Covidence, including set-up, importing and exporting records, screening, data collection, and risk of bias assessment.
By the end of this training attendees will be able to:
Describe what Covidence is and how to request access
Setup Covidence prior to starting your review
Explain how to conduct title/abstract and full text screening, data collection, and risk of bias assessment
Understand how to pilot your methods with Covidence
Identify the process for exporting records
Attendees are not expected to have prior knowledge of how to conduct a review. It is recommended that those planning to undertake a review, should register for the Evidence Synthesis series that take a deeper dive into the required methods for each step in a review.
