UPDATE
The University of Nottingham will not be extending its institutional licence to Covidence, which ended on 29 June 2025. After this date, no new reviews will be able to be registered via the institutional access route, but for reviews already registered, you will continue to have full access until 28 June 2026.
Covidence is a web-based software platform that streamlines the production of systematic/scoping, rapid and evidence-synthesis reviews. It supports citation screening, full-text review, risk of bias assessment, extraction of study characteristics and outcomes, and the export of data and references.
