Follow the instructions below to customize your review settings.
Click the Reviewers tab of the Settings. Here you can see the active reviewers, pending invites, and expired invites.
To invite a new reviewer, click the blue Invite another reviewer button. You will then be prompted to enter their first name and email address.
Once you click Invite, this reviewer will be added into your pending section.
If you have been invited to collaborate on a systematic review, you will receive an email and be prompted to accept the invitation. Once you click the link you will be prompted to either create a Covidence account or sign in to an existing one. Note: Check your spam and/or junk folder if the invitation doesn't appear in your inbox.
Once all of the members of your team have been added to the review, you can now assign specific roles to specific reviewers if desired. Click Team Settings. There are three sections that have customizable rules: Title and Abstract Screening, Full Text Review, and Extraction. Title and Abstract Screening will automatically be open.
Go to the Rules section. The default will have Everyone can do anything selected. If you want to have a specific reviewer assigned to a role, click the drop down and select their name. You can repeat this process for each of the three sections depending on your review needs.
