Covidence: Getting Started with Covidence

You can create your personal sign-in information for Covidence before or after joining the institutional subscription.

To request access to the institutional account in Covidence, you must use your current institutional email address (no Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.).

Faculty and students at Einstein and the Ferkauf School of Psychology, as well as faculty and residents at Montefiore, should follow these steps:

1. Go to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine Covidence Sign-up page.
2. Enter your information (using your institutional email address) and click “Request Invitation.”
3. Accept the invitation in your email – check your spam folder if the invitation does not arrive in a few minutes. Please also keep in mind that the link is one-time use and will expire in ~30 days.
4. Log in to your existing Covidence account or sign up for a new account, which will automatically link you to Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
5. If you have already joined the Albert Einstein College of Medicine’s Covidence account, then you can log in with your email and password and proceed to use Covidence. 

 Jacobi residents and faculty should contact the library to request access.

After clicking “Start a new review,” you will have the option to use your personal account license or select the Albert Einstein College of Medicine account.

• Reviews created under the institutional license will be visible to the Research and Education Librarians at the D. Samuel Gottesman Library, the administrators of Albert Einstein College of Medicine’s Covidence account. Your personal account review(s) will only be seen by you.
• Once you have created a review or accepted an invitation to another Albert Einstein College of Medicine account review, the title will appear in a separate section on your account homepage.
