The record

Purpose: Covidence is a non-profit platform that helps researchers systematically review research.
Review workflow: The platform supports review setup, importing, screening, data extraction, quality assessment, and export.
Screening: Reviewers can independently screen with blinding and structured conflict resolution, and record full-text exclusion reasons.
Automation: Covidence offers automatic extraction suggestions from study metadata and large language model extraction when a DOI is available.
Integrations: Covidence lists CRS, EndNote, Zotero, RefWorks, Mendeley, RevMan, and tools supporting RIS, CSV, or PubMedXML formats as compatible workflow tools.
Import limit: Reference imports support EndNote XML, PubMed text, and RIS; files can be up to 50 MB and imports above 15,000 references should be split into batches.
Mobile access: Covidence has a mobile-optimized browser version for title and abstract screening, while full-text screening requires the desktop version.
Security: Covidence says it uses industry-standard encryption to store and transfer personal data and operates as a cloud-based service where data may be stored outside a user's country.
PDF and AI privacy: Covidence says review PDFs and derived data remain confidential to the respective review, and its LLMs do not train on, store, or distribute user-provided PDF data.
Support: The contact page says the support team usually replies within one business day; pricing also includes free online technical support.
Institutional customers: Institutional licensing is offered for organizations such as universities, hospitals, and societies, with administrators able to manage user access and see reviews and authors.
Ownership: Covidence is developed by the Future Evidence Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to changing how the world creates and uses trustworthy knowledge.
