HSLIC in partnership with UNM Libraries has recently licensed Covidence, a powerful tool for researchers and clinicians doing systematic reviews and other types of knowledge synthesis.
Covidence is a tool for title/abstract screening, full-text screening, data abstraction, and quality assessment. Covidence was designed by researchers familiar with the systematic review process in order to make conducting reviews more efficient.

HSLIC’s director, Melissa Rethlefsen, recommends using Covidence for any research project that involves sorting through citations, whether for a systematic review or a cross-sectional study of the literature. “It’s a huge time-saver,” she says. “I screened almost 4,000 citations in two days for one of my projects! Covidence continues to improve their product based on user feedback, too, including recently adding a useful ‘undo’ tool if you’ve screened an item too quickly.”
To create a Covidence account and learn more about this tool, visit the HSLIC Covidence research guide. Click on the UNM Covidence Sign-Up page, enter your name and UNM or HSC email.
