Systematic Reviews & Other Syntheses

Introduction

Research by an inter-professional team from Queen's University highlights the educational needs and gaps of researchers conducting systematic reviews (McKeown et al., 2021). This inter-professional team has set out to develop an open access module series titled The Essentials of Conducting Systematic Reviews to introduce researchers to all stages of the systematic review process. 

The module series is being developed in collaboration by:

The module series was made possible by funding from the Ontario Library Association, Queen’s University, and Queen’s University Library.
