Systematic and Systematic-like Reviews

Using direct export from online databases

Records or groups of records found in online databases, such as EBSCO, ProQuest, Scopus and Web of Science, can be directly exported as an RIS file, to go into Covidence and/or your Endnote Library.

The steps required to export records varies between databases and the browser you are using at the time.

Step by step instructions on how to export an RIS file from Library databases

Note: The Macintosh™ Safari browser does not support direct export. References exported from an online database using Safari are saved to the Downloads folder. 

See these further instructions for Importing references in Covidence including importing from PubMed.

Adding Grey Literature

If you are also using Grey Literature sources in your review these can be manually added to your EndNote Library (create a new Group called "Grey Literature"). Then from EndNote you can export an .xml file (of that Group of references) which can be imported into Covidence.

See: How to track databases, registers, and other sources for further detail on importing into Covidence.
