Systematic and Scoping Review Request Form

UAMS Library Faculty are happy to support your research! These reviews require intense contributions on the part of the librarian including complex searches, citation management, access to and management of Covidence, writing the search methodology, providing PRISMA flowchart and full MEDLINE search strategy for the final manuscript. Thus, scoping or systematic reviews require the UAMS Librarian be included as a co-author.

Unsure which review is right for you?

Review this Systematic-Scoping Review Process.pdf or this interactive tool via the University of Manitoba. If you are doing a narrative review, rapid review, or are unable to have a librarian as co-author please use our traditional Literature Search Request Form!
