Becker Library now offers four brief tutorials to help researchers better understand systematic and scoping reviews:
- Identifying and Comparing Systematic and Scoping Reviews provides definitions for each type of review and can help researchers select the best type of review for their project.
- Introduction to Becker Library’s Systematic and Scoping Review Services provides an overview of the services provided by Becker Librarians. It includes information about the process of working with a librarian, completing a request form, and the files researchers receive after the search is complete.
- How to Read a Systematic Review Search provides information about how to better understand systematic review search strategies created by our librarians. Reviews controlled vocabulary, keyword terms, and search syntax used for comprehensive search strategies.
- Introduction to Covidence Screening Software provides a quick overview of using Covidence for an evidence synthesis project. It explains how Becker librarians initiate a project, and goes over some of the major project settings researchers should review when starting a project.
These brief videos are especially helpful for novice systematic review/scoping review researchers, or those who have not utilized Becker Library’s systematic review service before.
