The Health Sciences Library Knowledge Synthesis Collaboration

The Information Specialists (IS) at the Unity Health Toronto Library offer advanced support for researchers and clinicians conducting various types of literature reviews and knowledge syntheses. These services include:

providing advice on various steps in conducting a systematic literature review;
creating and documenting comprehensive literature searches;
making software recommendations for citation and data management;
writing the literature search methods for the manuscript according to PRISMA or other appropriate guidelines.

The Health Sciences Library introduced a Systematic Review Collaboration Policy in September 2018. Please find the policy in the Unity Health Toronto Corporate Policies & Procedures System (CPPS) here (internal link for on-site users).
