Some key things to be aware of when considering a systematic review are:
- Plan for a timeline of 9-12 months.
- Include a minimum of 2 reviewers.
- Search a minimum of 3 databases.
- Conduct 2 sets of screening: title/abstract, and full text.
- Consult 1 statistician, if you are conducting a meta-analysis.
