Screening References
Inclusion and Exclusion
Depending on the review, searches conducted may identify thousands of sources. Use Covidence to streamline the process and facilitate team collaboration.
- Duplicate removal
- Covidence removes duplicates as references are imported into the review project
- Title and abstract screening
- Covidence enables team members to review inclusion and exclusion criteria during the screening process
- Covidence facilitates team-based review
- Studies falling outside of the inclusion criteria are removed
- Full text review
- Full text of articles are provided by Gumberg Library in many cases, but not all
- If we don't have full text, you can access materials through an interlibrary loan (Log in with your MultiPass to submit a request)
- Once full text is obtained, this can be uploaded to Covidence to facilitate review
- Covidence prompts to provide exclusion criteria when necessary
Note: Covidence records all this data in a draft PRISMA chart that can be later used when writing the review manuscript.
