Literature Search / Systematic Review Support

Librarians at the Health Sciences Library can assist with planning, conducting, and reporting systematic reviews and other types of research reviews. Our team are experienced authors with an extensive list of published systematic reviews.

To learn more about conducting research reviews, contact our Clinical & Research Librarian Team to arrange a consultation or individual or group training. See the Library Clinical & Research Support webpage for contact details & printable guides.
