The CDU Library doesn’t currently provide access to the Covidence program. However, interested users can sign up and use it for one review on a free trial basis (2 reviewers, and up to 500 references): Covidence - Better systematic review management. Covidence also provide help pages with instructional videos to help you users navigate the program: Covidence Knowledge Base.
With regards to Library information and software to support systematic reviews, the Library provides the following tools and support:
CDU does provide access to JBI Sumari through the JBI Database on the CDU Library website: JBI Login (ovid.com). Once in the database, click on EBP Tools on the top menu and select Sumari:
And there are an excellent array of freely available tools to assist with the systematic review process, using either Rayyan or the Evidence Review Accelerator (TERA) Tools:
Rayyan: Rayyan – Intelligent Systematic Review - Rayyan
the Evidence Review Accelerator: TERA
There is also a free tool created by Brown University called Abstrackr, which is easy to follow, with excellent instructions (but it only screens abstracts): Abstrackr Introduction - YouTube and Abstrackr How to Screen (youtube.com).
Please see the CDU Library Systematic review guide for useful links and information: Systematic reviews - Literature Review Guide - Subject guides at Charles Darwin University. The Tutorials and Handouts page in particular can be useful for those starting their review to use templates to keep track of their searches.
We also encourage anyone wishing to start their systematic review to make an appointment with a member of the CDU Librarian team to help them plan their search using effective search terms and the most appropriate databases: Book an Appointment - LibCal - CDU Library
