A systematic review uses repeatable methods to find comparable studies on a single research question, synthesize related data, and draw conclusions. Such reviews are commonly used in clinical medicine and nursing, healthcare navigation, wellness studies, and patient education.

Start with these databases. Use the phrase "systematic reviews" as a keyword; or choose the advanced search, select the "publication type" menu, and then choose "systematic reviews."
