A project to improve the transparency and interoperability of systematic reviews
Our methods involve carefully planned stakeholder engagement and will be driven by the needs of experts, end-users and software developers to ensure they are as relevant and usable as possible. The project has been registered with the EQUATOR Network.
We will use an anoymised approach (known as the Delphi method) to solicit suggestions of necessary information, required file types and data formats, followed by a collaborative, online workshop with a core group of stakeholders.
We will use a set of completed systematic reviews to test, validate and refine the standards to ensure they are operationalisable (usable in practice).
