CADIMA is a free-to-use software that can assist authors in recording, conducting and reporting CEE Evidence Syntheses. CADIMA is currently in its trial phase and is being made available through a joint project between CEE and the Julius Kühn Institute (JKI).
The use of CADIMA is optional and not obligatory for CEE Evidence Syntheses. However, CEE encourages authors to try using CADIMA and to provide feedback to aid its development.
The maintenance of CADIMA and its further development is guaranteed by JKI. Support will be provided to review teams by direct mailing to support@cadima.info or by using the support button.
In order to familiarize review teams with the functionality of CADIMA, online workshops will be organized on request. In order to express your interest, please visit CADIMA
