Systematic Reviews: A How-To Guide

Overview of systematic review steps and resources to assist researchers conducting reviews

Management and Software Tools

Systematic review management software tools are specifically tailored to the needs of systematic review teams.
These tools can help with data extraction, performing a meta-analysis, tracking team progress, and facilitating communication between members. As indicated below, some of these suggestions are fee-based while others are free. You should also keep in mind that not every tool is appropriate for every kind of synthesis or review.

Note: The University of Victoria holds an institutional license for the web-based software, Covidence, and encourages its researchers to use the platform. Contact your UVic subject librarian for a consultation.
