Isn’t it great when two things which are already great on their own combine? Earlier this month, The Rotation spotlighted LibKey Nomad, a super-handy browser plugin which helps you access full text more quickly and easily. For those involved with evidence synthesis projects who use Covidence, there is some great news…
Now you can use LibKey Nomad to help you locate the full text of articles right from your Covidence screen!
Once you are logged in to Covidence, navigate to the Full text screening page, and look at your list. You will now find the LibKey Nomad icon that offers you the option to “Download PDF” – or may offer you other options of obtaining the full-text article. Here’s how it can work with Covidence:
To access the full text, click the LibKey Nomad button to download a PDF. The PDF will open in a new browser tab…
…and you can download it from there.
Next, you will click the Upload full text button, and locate the PDF wherever you downloaded it:
Once you have uploaded the PDF, this will be reflected in the display on the Full text screening page:
When you have completed this process for each study in your full text screening set, you are ready to resume your screening!
The integration of LibKey Nomad and Covidence makes what was previously a more time-consuming process quick and easy. If you aren’t using LibKey Nomad yet, install it in your browser today!
