To work with our Systematic Review Service, we require that:
-
A recent systematic review on the same topic must not already be published or registered as a protocol.
-
Your timeframe must be feasible for your assigned MSK librarian. Searches can take a month or more to complete, depending on the response time of the team and the complexity of the topic.
-
A primary researcher must be affiliated with MSK.
-
Multiple requests from the same primary researcher will be handled successively, not concurrently.
-
You must have a team with a minimum of two active members, preferably more.
-
A draft of your review protocol must be in process and shared with your MSK librarian, including at minimum a focused research question and inclusion/exclusion criteria.
-
You must be open to refining your research question with your MSK librarian if it is too broad.
-
Your MSK librarian must be sent the review manuscript and supplements prior to its submission to a journal or conference.
-
You must include your MSK librarian as a co-author on the resulting publication.
Please reach out if you have any questions about these policies, or would like to speak to an MSK Librarian before requesting a new review.
