Literature reviews
The University Library's team for research support provides support for reviews where the literature search is the method.
Collaboration in a review project demands a continuous dialogue and usually consists of several meetings and work opportunities. Please contact Research Support to find out more about the support or book an appointment for an initial consultation.
Covidence
Through the library, researchers at JU have access to Covidence, a web-based tool for screening, quality assessment and analysis of collected data for a literature review.
Access to Covidence is provided to teams conducting full-scale literature reviews. The program is mainly intended for systematic and scoping reviews.
