The increasing demand for evidence-informed decision-making in health and social sciences highlights the critical role of systematic reviews. These reviews help synthesize vast amounts of research in a structured, transparent, and reproducible manner, offering high-quality evidence to guide policy, practice, and future research. These types of reviews are especially important in addressing complex public health issues, where the demand for reliable, trustworthy evidence is crucial.
Specific areas to be covered include:
- Introduction to Systematic Reviews
- Scoping Reviews
