Evidence Synthesis Service
Northeastern Library provides a tiered set of support services for evidence synthesis projects such as systematic reviews.
What Kind of Support Is Provided Through the Evidence Synthesis Service?
Consultation:
We are available to advise and educate on the development of review protocols, search strategies, gray literature searching, citation and citation management tools, and identifying target journals.
Collaboration:
We can serve as partners and search methodology experts. We will create, run, and document database searches, draft the Methods section of the manuscript and database search appendices, create the PRISMA flow chart, and ensure adherence to established reporting standards.
The availability of collaboration services is dependent on the capacity of librarians at the time.
Please see our Service Tiers for more information regarding the services included in each support tier.
