Our Take
Covidence is designed for teams conducting systematic reviews and related evidence-synthesis projects. Its structured workflow can support screening, full-text review, data extraction, and tracking decisions in one place, which is helpful when a review involves many records and several reviewers.
It does not replace a sound protocol or ensure that reviewers apply criteria consistently. Subscription access, supported review types, and available features should be checked before a team commits, and disagreements still need transparent resolution.
Define eligibility criteria and extraction fields before screening begins, pilot the workflow with a small sample, and document how conflicts are handled. Keep the database search strategy and records of exclusions, and verify extracted results against the original studies before synthesis.
