Searches to support systematic review should be requested for those undertaking systematic reviews, meta analyses or guideline development.
Before you proceed with your request, we recommend reading this definition of a systematic review.
Library assistance with your systematic review:
If you are planning to carry out a systematic review, it is recommended to involve a librarian in the process. Research indicates that this results in significantly higher quality reported search strategies. (1)
A librarian can work with you to create a robust search strategy, as well as advise you on other aspects of the review process, including question formulation, PRISMA flow diagrams, reference management, and screening tools.
Depending on the extent of our involvement, we anticipate that the librarian will be listed as an author or mentioned in acknowledgements for any published paper resulting from the searches.
By completing the form below, we will carry out a thorough and sensitive search using a range of appropriate databases. If you require our assistance for anything beyond this or would like to discuss your project with us first, please get in touch.
