Through the WHSC Library’s Systematic Review Service, our informationists are valuable members of evidence synthesis teams working on projects such as systematic, scoping, umbrella, and rapid reviews. Our informationists develop comprehensive and methodologically rigorous search strategies for the literature that will form the basis of the data for your evidence synthesis project, serve as the methodologist to guide reviewers through the evidence synthesis project, project manage Covidence projects, and write portions of the methods section. Here are a few of the recent publications our informationists have co-authored with Emory researchers.
Have questions about systematic reviews, or want to conduct one of your own? Check out our Systematic Review Service guide or reach out to Ask Us to talk to an informationist about your project!
