FAQ
Common questions
Is Meta-analysis360 a Covidence replacement?▾
Partially. Both support systematic review screening and team workflows. Covidence is widely used in institutional settings for structured dual review. Meta-analysis360 focuses on AI-assisted planning, search, and screening with human final decisions. We are not affiliated with Covidence.
Can we run blind dual screening like Covidence?▾
Yes. Meta-analysis360 supports team members, blinded screening, and conflict visibility when blind mode is off.
Does Meta-analysis360 help before screening starts?▾
Yes. Planning, protocol, and search strategy tabs come before screening — Covidence typically expects you to arrive with references ready.
Can I import the same reference files?▾
Yes. Import RIS, BibTeX, NBIB, and EndNote exports, then deduplicate before AI or manual screening.
