Abstract

Covidence is a tool that facilitates systematic review screening. Librarians obtained Covidence review data from a large research institution to identify the effect that the total number of citations, team members, and librarian collaboration has on the possibility of completion and time needed for screening. The fewer the citations and the fewer the citations per collaborator, the more likely the team is to complete title and abstract and full text screening, and the faster they will finish the screening process. This relationship was stronger for the number of citations per collaborator than the number of citations alone.
