Covidence offers monthly training webinars (registration required), along with 24-hour methodological or technical support at support@covidence.org.  Covidence Academy is also a great resource containing useful ‘How to’ guides, step-by-step videos on Covidence features, and helpful links to additional resources.

Creating a review using the Thompson Rivers University unlimited license
After clicking the link “Create new review” you will have the option to use your personal account license or select the Thompson Rivers University account.

Reviews created under the institutional license will be visible to the administrators of the TRU Covidence account. Your personal account review(s) will only be seen by you.

Once you have created a review or accepted an invitation to another TRU account review, the title will appear in a separate section on your account homepage:

Working with review team members from other institutions?
Once a review is created, you are able to add co-reviewers.

  1. From the homepage (Your reviews), select the review you wish to add co-reviewers to and click on “Settings”

  1. From the review Settings, navigate to “Add/remove reviewers”
  2. Click on “Invite another reviewer” and enter your reviewer’s first name and email addresses to invite them

You can invite team members from other organizations to work on your review, but they will not be able to create their own new reviews using TRU’s subscription.
