The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) provides detailed methodological guidance for conducting comparative effectiveness reviews. Topics include topic refinement, literature searching, study selection, risk of bias, data extraction, evidence synthesis, and assessment of the strength of evidence. This resource is particularly useful as a methods reference for researchers who need more detailed guidance on specific stages of a review. Advanced Training JBI Comprehensive Systematic
Review Training Program Advanced
Instructor-Led Fee-Based
JBI offers formal training in systematic review methodology for researchers seeking more intensive instruction. Training covers the foundations of evidence-based health care and systematic reviews, searching and managing the literature, critical appraisal, evidence synthesis, and protocol development. JBI training also addresses different types of evidence, including quantitative, qualitative, narrative, and textual evidence. Training is helpful, but it
does not replace methodological consultation.
If you are planning a systematic review, contact an MUSM librarian early in the project. A librarian can help with selecting appropriate databases and other information sources, developing and documenting reproducible search strategies, translating searches across databases, managing search results, and planning search updates. |
