Covidence training for Postgraduate Taught Students
During June, Libraries and Learning Resources are hosting four one-hour webinars to help you get the most out of Covidence, a web-based software platform that streamlines the production of systematic 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. Covidence can save time on repetitive review tasks, enabling faster review production and more time for analysis and interpretation.
Covidence can be helpful for postgraduate students whose dissertations, projects or theses include a systematic (or other type of) review. These sessions, delivered online by Covidence’s training team, will cover the basics of getting started with Covidence (Covidence 101), Importing and Screening, and Data Extraction. You’ll also get tips and tricks to jumpstart your progress, as well as the opportunity to get your specific questions answered.
