systematic reviews

A systematic review is a comprehensive research method used to gather and analyze all existing studies on a specific topic. Researchers follow a structured approach to identify, evaluate, and summarize findings from numerous studies, aiming to minimize bias. This process involves clearly defined criteria for selecting studies and using rigorous methods to assess their quality. The goal is to provide a reliable overview of evidence, helping inform decisions in areas like healthcare, policy, and education. Systematic reviews are valuable tools for understanding what is known about a topic and identifying gaps in research.
