The Evidence Synthesis Service has restarted with limited service. To request support, please complete this form. Please be aware that there are longer wait times than in the past due to current staff shortages. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time. In the meantime, we encourage you to explore our website, which offers newly updated video tutorials on systematic searches. If you have any questions or feedback, please reach out to MedLitSearch@yale.edu.
Evidence Synthesis Process
Who We Are
Our librarians have co-authored hundreds of evidence synthesis articles. Librarians and library staff are continually trained on new search methodologies and processes. We adhere to the requirements for authorship and contributor-ship of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).
Who You Are
To ensure alignment with institutional goals, evidence synthesis consultations are available to teams where BOTH the lead researcher/primary contact (first author) and group leader/PI (last author) are current faculty, staff, or students whose primary affiliation is at YSM, YSPH, YSN, or YNHH.
NOTE:
Librarians can collaborate with researchers to determine how they can best support the research project. Comprehensive searches are thorough and time-intensive, and each librarian can only work on a limited number of reviews simultaneously. Librarian participation may be delayed or unavailable if they are at capacity. In these cases, librarians will direct the researchers to the “researcher self-guided” service offering.
