Systematic reviews

Overview of systematic review steps and resources to assist researchers conducting reviews.

Data synthesis and meta-analysis

Homogenous or similar data from your review can be synthesised using a process called meta-analysis.

Meta-analysis uses a statistical approach to pool together results from multiple studies.

Systematic Review Management software such as Covidence and JBI's SUMARI provide features that facilitate this process. Other software such as Nvivo can also be used to synthesise research data.
