Support for systematic reviews

Last changed: 08 November 2024

The purpose of a systematic review is to summarise all available and relevant research on a specific question. Here you can read more about the workflow of a systematic review, with tips and resources for the different steps of the process.

The library's search specialists are available to discuss both search strategy, search techniques and choice of databases for you as a doctoral student or researcher at SLU. Please contact us early in the process for the best planning and a smooth implementation.

We offer support at different levels:

  • Consulting: We provide guidance on relevant search terms for a research question, search techniques in selected databases and demonstrate screening tools and techniques.
  • Performing: We run searches designed in cooperation with you, in relevant and accessible databases. We deliver the results in a format that is suitable for you and your project team.
  • Seminars, workshops and courses: We tailor-make content to fulfil your needs.

Under each tab you will find more information about the different steps of the process of a systematic review and what is important to consider. If you want to go deeper, we recommend Online methods course in Systematic review and Systematic mapping developed by Stockholm Environmental Insitute.
