How can I request to work with a librarian on my systematic review?
Answer
Once you review and are able to follow our policies for partnership, we welcome you to fill out our systematic review request form. After submitting the form, your request will be reviewed and you will be assigned a librarian to work with.
A librarian will work with your team to develop a search strategy, translate it to additional databases, run the searches and any needed search updates, write the methods, and upload the results to the systematic review software Covidence. Learn more about the role of the librarian in our guide.
To help the process go as smoothly as possible, we highly recommend that you begin work on a protocol as early as possible. Having a protocol in process will ensure that the scope of the project is determined from the start, and it will inform the librarian's development of the search strategy.
