Systematic, scoping, and rapid reviews are all forms of evidence synthesis. Researchers undertaking these types of projects aim to find and analyze all the relevant information related to their research question. Evidence synthesis has traditionally been used to inform best practice in healthcare but is now increasingly being used in fields such as social work and criminology. In this session, we will look at the differences between different types of reviews and explore the methodology associated with each one. I will explain each stage of an evidence synthesis and share some tools and resources.
By the end of the workshop, you'll be able to:
- Describe the main elements of an evidence synthesis
- Explain the differences between systematic, scoping, and narrative reviews
- Locate key methodology documents and guidelines
- Decide if this is the right kind of project for your research
