Covidence
Where trusted evidence gets made.
Covidence is a non-profit platform that helps researchers manage and streamline systematic reviews of research. It addresses the challenge of coordinating the complex, multi-step process of evidence synthesis, from defining a review question to exporting results, by bringing the entire workflow into a single online environment.
The platform covers the full review lifecycle with dedicated modules for review setup, reference importing, title and abstract screening, full-text review, data extraction, risk of bias assessment, and PRISMA-compliant export. It supports importing references from databases and reference managers such as EndNote, Zotero, Mendeley, and RefWorks, and includes automated duplicate detection. AI features assist with screening and data extraction by surfacing likely includes and suggesting supporting text from sources. The platform is accessible via web browser and offers mobile screening for title and abstract review.
Covidence is designed for researchers, students, and clinicians across disciplines, and is used by institutions such as universities, hospitals, and research societies. It offers a free trial with a limit of 500 records. Paid plans include a single-review subscription valid for 12 months and a package for up to three reviews. Institutional subscriptions provide unlimited reviews, users, and collaborators, along with administrative oversight and live training. Concessions are available for users in low- and middle-income countries.
