Research support

If you're participating in an innovation scholarship project, developing a guideline, undertaking a systematic review or meta-analysis, or are a higher degree student, Librarians can support you or your team in the following ways
  • Develop a research question that is clear, focused and related to the topic of interest
  • Identify existing systematic reviews on a topic
  • Recommend appropriate databases
  • Review existing search strategies
  • Develop search strategies for each database
  • Execute searches across multiple databases
  • Deduplicate and provide citations, e.g. using EndNote
  • Provide assistance and advise with screening records, e.g. using Covidence
  • Assist with locating full-text articles
  • Provide a narrative of the search methodology, including PRISMA flow charts
  • Contribute to the manuscript/report as a co-author
  • Document search strategies
  • Update searches as required.
