Covidence

This guide will help you set up an account in Covidence and provide basic instructions for how to screen studies for a review.

Create an Account

In order to use Covidence, you will have to create an account. Please use either a UVM (@uvm.edu), LCOM (med.uvm.edu), or UVMMC (@uvmhealth.org) email address when registering. 

New Covidence Users - If you have never used Covidence before, please go to the UVM Libraries Covidence page and fill out the form. You will receive an email inviting you to join Covidence. Be sure to check your spam folder if the invitation does not appear in your inbox. Click on the "Accept Invitation" button and then click "Create an Account" when prompted.

Existing Covidence Users - If you already have a Covidence account, you can link it to the UVM Libraries institutional account to create free, unlimited, reviews. Please follow one of these options:

  1. Does your existing Covidence account use your UVM, LCOM, or UVMMC email address? If it does, use the same Covidence link and request an invitation to join. Click the "Accept Invitation" link in the emailed message you receive and log into your existing account.
  2. Does your existing Covidence account use a non-UVM, LCOM, or UVMMC email address? If the answer is "yes", you will need to access your Covidence profile, add your UVM, LCOM, or UVMMC email address, and make it your primary address. Then use the same Covidence link and request an invitation to join. Click the "Accept Invitation" link in the emailed message you receive and log into your existing account.
