Automatically tag studies reporting on RCTs using the Cochrane RCT Classifier

When creating a new review on Covidence in the medical & health sciences area, you will now have an option to enable functionality that will tag studies reporting on RCTs using the Cochrane RCT Classifier. Cochrane reviews will also have the ability to turn this functionality on.

When enabled, studies imported to the review will be run through the Cochrane RCT classifier and tagged with either "Possible RCT" or "Not RCT".

Drag and drop PDFs onto the full text screening list

Save time uploading PDFs during full text screening, by using the new drag and drop feature. You can now drag and drop directly onto the full text screening list.

Open your uploaded full texts in one click

To save you time when screening, once you have uploaded a full text, all members of the reviewing team will be able to see the file name or link on the screening list. From here, you can open them in one click.

Improved experience when uploading and managing full texts

We’ve made improvements to how you can upload and manage full texts during full text screening with a new upload screen. On the new screen you can easily:

Drag and drop or select to upload PDFs
Add a link to the full text
Remove full texts
View who uploaded the full text and when
Update which PDF is the primary full text
