Q. Is Covidence available through the library?

The Library does not subscribe to Covidence, however, this tool has a free trial option that is limited to 500 records, which may be sufficient for some reviews.

Alternatives include:

• Catchii, a free-to-use screening tool that was launched in September 2023
• SR Accelerator, a loosely-connected suite of free systematic review automation tools
• Rayyan, a paid screening and deduplication tool with a limited free option
• PICO Portal, a paid systematic review automation tool with a limited free option

Note:

• Teams at OHSU looking to acquire a paid tool should consider contacting their department administration staff responsible for purchasing software
• Grant-funded projects can account for the cost of tools in their budgets
• The Library has heard of teams using multiple free trial Covidence accounts to complete screening for reviews with more than 500 records
• Teams interested in systematic review automation tools might want to check out our Systematic Reviews Guide
