Help With Systematic Reviews

Did you know that your library liaison can assist you in the literature review portion of a systematic review? The liaison can meet with you to discuss search strategies and appropriate databases as well as run those searches for you. Visit the Liaisons Page to contact your liaison or the Database Search Services page for more information about search services.

Examples of searches with which librarians have helped are:

  • Neher JO, Safranek S, Greenwald JL. What is the best therapy for superficial thrombophlebitis? J Fam Pract 2004 Jul; 53(7):583-5
  • Cadwallader K, Jankowski TA, Koenig C. Other than anticoagulation, what is the best therapy for those with atrial fibrillation? J Fam Pract 2004 Jul; 53:(7):581-3.

Wondering how to start on a systematic review? The following recent article provides a good overview:

  • Sutherland SE Matthews DC. Conducting systematic reviews and creating clinical practice guidelines in dentistry: lessons learned. J Am Dent Assoc 2004 Jun;135(6):747-53.
