Anatomy of a Systematic Review

Today’s post highlights the important parts of a systematic review for students that are preparing their own lit reviews on a research topic.

Finding a relevant systematic review is an easy way to find other quality research on a topic. These articles can be very long, so it is helpful to quickly scan the reviews for these five common sections.

These sections will help you to determine if the review is relevant, how the review was found and give a long listing of quality research that has already been evaluated. This is a fast way to build a comprehensive reference list for your project.
