Systematic Reviews & Evidence Synthesis Methods

Are you ready to do a systematic review or other evidence synthesis project? Before completing our Evidence Synthesis Intake Survey, please review the checklist below to be certain. If you are unsure about any of the checklist items, do not complete the survey and instead, email the team to ask for assistance. 

Evidence synthesis consultations are limited to faculty, researchers, post-graduates, and graduate students only. For assistance with a literature review, please contact your subject librarian.

This guide provides an overview of the steps in an evidence synthesis review, and offers several suggestions for useful resources and tools to use throughout the process. Librarians offer consultations as well. Please refer to the "How Librarians Can Help" information on the UCI Libraries Evidence Synthesis Service page to see the specific ways librarians can support you through this process.

We recognize that these types of reviews may be interdisciplinary and not limited to a single discipline. Submitting the survey to schedule a consultation with a librarian is the first step, and depending on your topic, that librarian may consult or ask other colleagues to join the discussion.

For clarification questions or advice on completing the Evidence Synthesis Survey, please contact the Evidence Synthesis Library Team.
