Questions to Consider Before Submitting

Collaboration

If your project is a systematic/scoping review, consider the following questions before meeting with a librarian:

• Have you searched the literature for previous systematic reviews on the topic?
• What is your PICO question?
• Why is this topic important and why is this systematic review needed?
• Do you have a protocol? Have you registered it with PROSPERO?
• Do you have at least 2 team members who can dedicate the time needed to complete the search and extraction process?
