Systematic Reviews
Systematic reviews are a type of literature review of research which require equivalent standards of rigour as primary research. They have a clear, logical rationale that is reported to the reader of the review. They are used in research and policymaking to inform evidence-based decisions and practice. They differ from traditional literature reviews particularly in the following elements of conduct and reporting.
Systematic reviews:
- use explicit and transparent methods
- are a piece of research following a standard set of stages
- are accountable, replicable and updateable
- involve users to ensure a review is relevant and useful.
