The Library can assist faculty and research assistants embarking on systematic reviews with the following services, available by booking an in-depth research consultation with your subject librarian.

Due to the time-intensive nature of systematic review projects, your subject librarian may not be able to undertake the research component of your systematic review as a full member of your project team. If you wish to approach your subject librarian with the opportunity to join your team, please note that co-authorship will be a requirement.
