Systematic Review Support

Systematic reviews and other types of evidence synthesis are a pivotal part of advancing research across various disciplines. These reviews are essential because they provide a comprehensive and unbiased synthesis of existing research, helping to identify reliable patterns and support evidence-based decision-making, policy development, and the application of robust findings.

Librarians support this work through consultation, access to relevant software (Covidence, Zotero), and through instructional materials that can be integrated in the classroom for related systematic review assignments. See our Evidence Synthesis Guide for details on our service, directions for setting up access to Covidence, and instructional materials.
