How do you know if you are a subject expert for the purposes of completing a systematic review?
Answer
There is not a formal list of criteria against which you can measure yourself to determine if you are a subject expert as it can be defined in many different ways. Instead, imagine you are in a room of advanced researchers in your field. Would you feel confident in your subject matter expertise among these other researchers in your field?
