Are there any resources about using Covidence for a Mixed Methods Systematic Review, where multiple data extraction and quality assessment templates might be required?

Thank you so much to this video. It was a very good explanation! How to work in more than 1 pair to screen articles? I have a large number of articles to select and I would like to distribute the articles among 6 researchers, how do I divide the articles?

Hi @OsmaraAlvesdosSantos, Thanks for your question. Regarding assigning references, we get this question a lot! Covidence doesn't encourage specific dividing of records in order to minimise bias in voting patterns. You can tell each of your reviewers to track their overall contribution from the Settings >> Team settings page, and to 'aim' for a particular number of votes contributed. You'll still end up dividing the work fairly evenly, but this minimizes the risk that one segment will receive an overall different assessment than another segment.
In Covidence you have all of your reviewers working off of the same list. In dual reviewer mode, the reference will be moved forward with any two votes. Once a reference is moved forward, it is moved off of everyone's screening list. Thus, as long as everyone contributes the requisite number of votes, all of your records will be voted on, even without dividing the reference list into segments. Happy reviewing!

Hi Covidence. Great presentation. If you make annotations in Mendeley Reference Manager, and then import to Covidence, does the attached document present as the original pdf or will it present as your annotated version?

Hi @traviskingdon3636 thanks for your question. The PDF in Covidence will not contain the annotations you added to it Mendeley.
