Overview

Covidence is a web-based software platform designed to streamline the systematic review process.

What does an organizational subscription include?

Our organizational, site-wide subscriptions feature unlimited reviews, users, collaborators, and support. Account administrators gain visibility into – and management of – all institutional systematic reviews and authors. We provide 24/7 online support by qualified systematic review professionals and live, personalized training webinars. All subscriptions come with a limited number of licenses for Cochrane Interactive Learning.

What are the options if I need more than three reviews (a small team package), but fewer than unlimited reviews?

You can purchase multiple small team packages to meet your specific needs. These packages must be purchased online using a credit card through our website. Because Covidence is most effective as a library-led solution, we encourage you to reach out to your library staff to express your interest in the platform and see if your institution is considering an unlimited subscription.

Do you offer discounts for students?

Covidence is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to quality evidence synthesis and its contribution to evidence based decision making. We try to keep our costs as low as possible for our users and do not offer an additional student discount. We do offer concessions to users who are based in low- and middle-income countries, so let us know if that might apply in your case.
