差 医疗 图书馆 系统综述 Service

Review this page to learn what you need for a successful systematic 审查 and how 医学图书馆可以提供帮助.

What You Need to Complete a 系统综述

主题: You should have a well-developed question that is searchable and does not duplicate recent existing systematic 审查s or ongoing systematic projects registered in 普洛斯彼罗.

  • 团队: A systematic 审查 is not a solo project. 你需要
    • 主题专家 who are subject experts about the topic of the 审查. 这通常包括临床医生 or scientists from multiple disciplines to address different aspects of the topic. For example, a systematic 审查 about childhood feeding difficulties might include topic experts such as a pediatrician, an occupational therapist, a child psychologist, 还是注册营养师.
    • 搜索专家, who are librarians trained in systematic 审查 methods. 这将确保你的系统 审查 is based on a well-constructed, well-documented, and peer-审查ed search that can meet current systematic 审查 standards for best practices. 期刊编辑越来越多 look for the involvement of expert searchers and some engage librarians as peer 审查ers 对于这种类型的提交.
    • 方法专家: Having team members with experience with instruments and methods for 审查ing 文学 对于质量和偏见是有帮助的. If you hope to do a meta-analysis along with your systematic 审查, you should have team members with expertise in this methodology as well as with statistical methods. All team members should be somewhat familiar with existing methods guides, such as those from Cochrane (1).
  • 时间: On average, systematic 审查 projects are estimated to take one year or more from the start of protocol development to a completed manuscript. (2).

  • 系统的方法: An appropriately conducted systematic 审查 project will begin with development of a protocol defining the planned approach to searching and analysis. 没有预付款 protocol, your project is likely not a real systematic 审查. PRISMA提供建议 on items to include in a protocol (3), and 普洛斯彼罗’s registration guidance (4) can also help inform what should be documented in your protocol.

Without all the above elements in place, your work a) may not be considered a real systematic 审查 and b) is unlikely to be successfully published in a reputable journal.


 

我们能提供什么

  • Advice on whether a systematic 审查 is an appropriate project for your team, topic, 和时间表.
  • Consultation on your draft protocol.
  • Expertly developed, peer 审查ed, and carefully documented search strategies in multiple appropriate databases, informed by PRISMA-S reporting standards (5).
  • Search results exported for EndNote and imported into the systematic 审查 软件 由你选择.
  • Help choosing and learning 软件 such as citation management or systematic 审查 软件.
  • Write-up of search methodology for your publication submissions.
  • Data on search result numbers required for your PRISMA flow diagram.

In some cases, we are able to provide librarian time for assistance with the title/abstract and full-text screening stage of the 审查.

请注意: we have a limited librarian team with many responsibilities for instruction, research, 收集、外联和服务. At times we may need to decline to take on new systematic 审查 projects for capacity reasons. Priority will be given to those projects with well-developed requests and protocols that are most likely to be successful.

 

开始吧

Fill out a request for systematic 审查 support via the form at http://forms.office.com/r/9GkWMJvAuy. 为此，您需要:

  • To have read all of the information provided on this page; you will be asked to confirm 你已经这样做了
  • 你的研究问题
  • To complete a preliminary search to determine if any systematic 审查s on your topic already exist and if any ongoing SRs are registered in 普洛斯彼罗 (4); please save your preliminary search and findings to share with the librarians so we can understand 你到目前为止所做的一切
  • Details about your team 和时间表
  • Examples of published articles you would want to retrieve for your 审查; these help us test our search strategies to determine whether they are retrieving important known 文学

 

作者

When librarians play a vital role in systematic 审查 projects, such as by developing searches and writing methods, they should be credited as authors on any publications or presentations and correspondingly should have the opportunity to 审查 any drafts 出版前. This corresponds to ICJME standards for authorship be based on four criteria (5), quoted below:

  • Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work; AND
  • Drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content; AND
  • Final approval of the version to be published; AND
  • Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated 和解决.

 

检索条

Some 软件, such as EndNote, includes features that aid in retrieving the abstracts and full-text articles of the references included in your search results. 检索 of articles beyond these automated approaches is the responsibility of the systematic 审核PI和团队. 图书馆 team members can be of assistance in ordering articles 差 does not have via the interlibrary loan services. PI负责这一切 costs associated with requesting and receiving these articles.

 

奖助金

If you have grant funding related to your project and would like to offset the cost of the librarian’s time on your project, please contact the library director, Associate 雷切尔·瓦尔登院长. If you have questions about paying for Interlibrary Loan 服务, 联系凯利·洛伊德.

 

Common Mistakes in 系统综述s

Common problems in approaches to systematic 审查 methods include:

  • Searches that fail to use appropriate keywords and controlled vocabulary
  • 省略关键数据库的搜索
  • Poorly documented searches that are not replicable
  • Failure to develop a robust protocol in advance of beginning searches or abstract 审查
  • Failure to engage librarian experts in search development
  • Lack of peer 审查 for search strategies
  • Lack of dual 审查 and an adjudication plan for title/abstract and full-text 审查
  • Lack of justification for limits used in searching
  • Lack of an advance plan for data extraction and 审查 of articles for quality/bias
  • Insufficient team member expertise on the topic of the 审查 (such as when assigned 给学生)
  • 不切实际的项目时间表
  • General failure to follow standards in methods and reporting

 

But My Professor/Faculty Advisor/Mentor Told Me to “Just Do a 系统综述”

系统ematic 审查s have become a popular research approach, but many people misunderstand 他们. Sometimes well-meaning faculty will advise students or residents to complete a systematic 审查 as an “easy” research project without fully understanding the 所需的方法和资源. These misunderstandings often lead to the development of poorly done “systematic 审查s” that lack the required systematic methods defined in an appropriate protocol, lack well-developed and well-documented search strategies, and fail to follow other methodological and reporting standards (1,4,6,7) that peer 审查ers should look for when considering the manuscript for publication.

A systematic 审查 is not a suitable project for a single student/resident with no prior experience in this methodology. It also is generally not an appropriate project for a single student and a single faculty advisor who is not an expert on systematic 审查 methodology. 最健康 science graduate students have not had the appropriate experience or 培训 to independently develop robust protocols and search strategies for systematic 审查s. 不熟悉 with appropriate methods for SR projects is very likely to lead to wasted time and 不能出版工作. A systematic 审查 is not an appropriate short-term project; systematic 审查s can take an average of a year or more to complete (2).

We recommend that students instructed to do a systematic 审查 without appropriate support share the above statement with their faculty. 我们随时为您提供咨询 on when and for whom a systematic 审查 is an appropriate project. 我们还可以推荐 培训 courses for faculty who are interested in further participating in and engaging students in future systematic 审查 research.
