Systematic review

A recent article summarising what a systematic review is, and how to go about it (in the healthcare context) is: Pati, D. and Lorusso, L. (2017, December 28). How to Write a Systematic Review of the Literature. HERD: Health Environments Research & Design Journal. (Advance onlione publication). https://doi.org/10.1177/1937586717747384 (priced publication)(Thanks to Andrew Booth for tweeting this).

Also, just a reminder that a key centre for expertise in systematic review (particularly social sciences, but also healthcare etc.) is the EPPI Centre, based at the UK's Institute of Education (University College London) and funded by a range of public-sector and professional organisations. It has tools and advice for carrying out systematic reviews, as well as examples, and also an ongoing blog https://eppi.ioe.ac.uk/cms/Default.aspx?tabid=53
