AU Library provides a consultation service for evidence synthesis projects. This means we're available to help with the following:

• Understand the processes and steps involved
• Determine if there are existing reviews on a topic
• Develop and/or refine a topic
• Develop and help register a protocol
• Discuss search strategies
• Identify relevant databases
• Review search techniques, such as Boolean and proximity operators

At this point, we are not able to assist with developing and executing searches, documenting search strategies, or producing a written version of search methods for the manuscript.

For more information about evidence synthesis, take a look at our guide. To schedule an appointment, please complete this form. We look forward to meeting with you!
