For questions or technical issues that are not addressed by the Covidence knowledge base, Covidence encourages you to contact them at support@covidence.org.
Questions regarding your Covidence account or to transfer existing reviews to McMaster's institutional access, contact Neera Bhatnagar
Covidence is 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. The Health Sciences Library now provides unlimited access to Covidence to university affiliates.

After creating a personal Covidence account and joining the McMaster University subscription, you will be able to sign in from anywhere by visiting: https://app.covidence.org/sign_in
If you have an existing Covidence review that has been accessed recently, either through a trial account or through a paid subscription, and your Covidence account is set up with your mcmaster.ca or medportal.ca email, you will have received an invite to join the McMaster University account. If you have an account that is linked to a non-McMaster email, but you are affiliated with the University, please notify Neera Bhatnagar so that we can verify and invite you to the institutional subscription.
We will be working with Covidence to migrate existing reviews held by McMaster affiliates into the full unlimited account in August. No data will be compromised during the migration and these reviews will then have access to the features of the full plan, including unlimited reviews and unlimited reviewers. Contact Neera Bhatnagar if you would like to migrate your existing review to the institutional account.
