Systematic and Scoping Reviews: Systematic Screening using Covidence and Zotero Online
This workshop will focus on using technical tools, Covidence, to streamline the review process, as well as a reference manager, Zotero, to work with the search results from your structured review to generate in-cite citations and an automated bibliography.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
• Import and export bibliographic references from Covidence and Zotero
• Understand how to use Covidence and Zotero for teams and groups
• Understand how to screen articles with Covidence using custom inclusion and exclusion criteria
• Build a basic data extraction template in Covidence for included studies
• Work with in-text citations in Microsoft Word, using Zotero
• Generate an automated bibliography using Zotero
