Covidence Support

Covidence is a purpose – built tool designed to improve systematic reviews to help healthcare professionals and researchers draw on the best available evidence. RCSI Bahrain Library has specialised librarians available to support and assist researchers with the systematic review process. Contact Library Research support services to learn more about conducting systematic reviews. You can visit the Library guides or email bnair@rcsi-mub.com  to request individual or group training.
