Subject: Systematic Review Guidance Resources
Hello,
I am putting together a list of the top guidance resources for systematic
reviews. Traditionally, the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviewers has
been seen as the basis for high quality reviews. Even so, over the years
separate groups/ organizations have begun to create their own guidance
resources. While they are not usually at odds with each other, each resource
is somewhat unique. I have compiled the following ones and hope that others
will have more to contribute to the list. Since there could be many
resources I am unaware of, individuals might prefer to send additional
references to me off-list and I will circulate an updated list in a week or
so.
Thanks.
Ahmed
