Abstract:
This article serves as a step-by-step guide for students and trainees who wish to conduct a systematic review, meta-analysis, or scoping review. As the field of evidence synthesis progresses, more students and trainees are attempting to conduct reviews, and it can be unclear how to approach such a project. In 10 organized steps, we describe different types of reviews, explain how to choose the most appropriate one, detail the steps involved in conducting a review, and list resources that are available to support authors of reviews. We describe the steps involved in 1) forming an appropriate research team; 2) developing a compelling research question; 3) writing a review; and 4) reporting the findings with clarity.
