What is Covidence

Covidence is a web-based software platform that streamlines the production of  systematic reviews. It does this by processes for importing search results, title/abstract screening, full-text screening, data abstraction, and quality assessment. 

Access to this software is provided by the Florida State University Maguire Medical Library and is available to all researchers affiliated with Florida State University.
