Covidence is a web-based tool that can simplify the processes of systematic and scoping reviews. It is designed to easily import citations ready for screening by multiple reviewers. The tool provides keyword highlighting and records the voting of screeners. Uploading PDFs is quick and easy and exclusion notes can be captured to resolve disagreements. Covidence includes customisable data extraction forms and automatically populates the Risk of Bias tables and Prisma Flow Chart.
