Informationists Mark MacEachern and Whitney Townsend, Taubman Health Sciences Library, give an overview of the systematic review publication type and discuss appropriate literature search methodologies, while also describing their experiences working on these project teams and teaching a grant-supported CE workshop for librarians on the topic.
A systematic review is a type of research publication that has become an integral part of the health sciences and other fields. As a publication that relies heavily on literature searches, systematic reviews provide information professionals with an opportunity to significantly contribute to and impact the resulting research. A special focus will be placed on the flow and management of information through the systematic review process, and on the role of librarians in the identification, production, and assessment of these research publications.
Emergent Research events are aimed at better understanding the various types of research undertaken across campus, particularly as they relate to library services and support, opportunities for collaboration, data management and preservation, and beyond.
