Schedule a Consultation


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 this guide's home page to see the specific ways librarians can support you through this process.

For clarification questions, please contact the Evidence Synthesis Library Team.

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.
