The Evidence Synthesis Service at the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library is temporarily paused until the end of January 2025. This pause allows our librarians to ensure that we continue to deliver the highest quality support to ongoing research projects. Explore our website for helpful resources during this pause, including the newly updated video tutorials on systematic searches. If you have any questions, please reach out to Associate Director Holly Grossetta Nardini at holly.nardini@yale.edu.
Evidence Synthesis Process
Who We Are
Our librarians have co-authored hundreds of evidence synthesis articles. Librarians and library staff are continually trained on new search methodologies and processes. We adhere to the requirements for authorship and contributor-ship of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).
Who You Are
To ensure alignment with institutional goals, evidence synthesis consultations are available to teams where BOTH the lead researcher/primary contact (first author) and group leader/PI (last author) are current faculty, staff, or students whose primary affiliation is at YSM, YSPH, YSN, or YNHH.
NOTE:
Librarians can collaborate with researchers to determine how they can best support the research project. Comprehensive searches are thorough and time-intensive, and each librarian can only work on a limited number of reviews simultaneously. Librarian participation may be delayed or unavailable if they are at capacity. In these cases, librarians will direct the researchers to the “researcher self-guided” service offering.
