Knowledge Synthesis

Knowledge synthesis (KS) activities include systematic, scoping, realist, or rapid reviews, meta-analyses, and other types of reviews. Information Specialists (IS) from the Library Services team may contribute their expertise to KS project teams. The contributions of an IS include:

Providing guidance on various steps in conducting a knowledge synthesis review
Providing feedback on protocols and guidance on where to register/publish
Creating and documenting comprehensive literature searches
Making software recommendations for citation and data management
Writing the literature search methods for the manuscript according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) or other appropriate guidelines.

To collaborate with an Information Specialist, please start with the Knowledge Synthesis Application Process. For further resources on conducting reviews see our Systematic Review Guide.
