The Library provides access to two main programmes which will help you run a systematic Review:
Trinity College Dublin has a site license for EndNote and current staff and students are permitted to install a copy of the software on both their personal and College-owned machines, with the provision that copies must be removed when the user leaves College.
EndNote allows users to:
Create a personalised database of references
Create groups and manage large systematic searches which are a key part of a systematic review
Type the references or import them from a database
Create a bibliography for a thesis, assignment or journal article in the reference style required, and easily change the reference style
Trinity Staff & Students may download a copy from here: https://www.tcd.ie/library/support/endnote/download.php
The Covidence application will help in the screening part of your research review. It is particularly useful for researchers conducting a systematic review. Covidence will:
Import citations: Covidence works seamlessly with your favourite reference managers like EndNote, Zotero, Refworks, Mendeley or any tool that support RIS, CSV or PubMedXML formats.
Screen titles and abstracts: Breeze through screening with keyword highlighting & a lightning quick interface. Covidence keeps full records of who voted and also supports single or dual screeners. You can even do it on your mobile when you have a few spare minutes.
Upload references: Transfer PDFs stored in your reference manager to Covidence in a few clicks.
Screen full text: Decide quickly on studies in full text. Capture reasons for exclusion and any notes so you can resolve any disagreements quickly, with a click of a button.
Create forms: Be in control and stay focussed on your PICO question. Customisable extraction forms means you only spend time extracting what you need. It saves you time and money.
Risk of Bias: Automatically populate your risk of bias tables by highlighting and commenting on text directly in your PDF. No more cut and paste.
Do Data extraction: Extract data efficiently with a side-by-side view of your customised form and PDF. Then, when you’re done, easily compare your form with other reviewers.
Export: Covidence exports to all the common formats so you can continue your review in your preferred software.
