The Evidence Synthesis Team at IU Libraries partners with IU Bloomington faculty to produce rigorous reviews, such as scoping or systematic reviews. This includes complex search building to advising on tools and methodologies for completing a systematic review. This is a tiered service with multiple levels of collaboration. Due to the time-intensive nature of evidence synthesis research projects, levels of support are dependent upon team availability.
