Piecing Together Systematic Reviews: Part 3 Production [NNLM Webinar]



Piecing Together Systematic Reviews. Phase 3: Production, an NNLM Webinar that took place on August 28, 2024.

Additional class materials can be found on the event page.


This session will cover the third phase of the PIECCESS review cycle, the Production phase of conducting a systematic review, during which the searches are completed. This will cover evaluating searches, translating between databases, deduplication, and grey literature.

The five-part series will introduce the review cycle framework, PIECCESS, as described in the book by Foster and Jewell (2022) Piecing Together Systematic Reviews and Other Evidence Syntheses. Throughout the phases, the potential roles for librarians, health care professionals and others interested in the process of systematic review will be discussed as well as categories of client, such as those who read reviews as compared to those who conduct reviews.
