Abstract

Despite the increasing popularity of systematic reviews, there remains a need to ensure that they are conducted rigorously and provide an objective critical summary of research findings. The strength of a systematic review is its rigorous methodological approach to interrogating a body of literature. Both authors and readers should be familiar with the methodology used to conduct and evaluate systematic reviews. By way of introduction, this article explains and explores the steps that make up the systematic review process.
