A systematic review is a complex activity, usually undertaken in scientific or clinical settings. It should not be confused with a systematic literature review, which also follows a defined process, but is a subjective review of literature on a topic within any subject discipline. We have a KnowHow tutorial on Systematic Literature Searching.
See the following resources to support your systematic review:
- KnowHow Online tutorial on Systematic Reviews
- KnowHow PhD recordings (requires MWS login) these are more in-depth recordings delivered by specialists in the Liverpool Reviews and Implementation Group (LRiG),including:
- Getting started with a systematic review: developing your review question
- Planning and doing a search for your systematic review
- Doing your systematic review: managing data and reporting
LRiG have also produced “Doing a Systematic Review” guidance which is available as an eBook.
