Data management

Like all other forms of research, it is recommended that you create a data management plan (DMP) for your review. 

Process tools

The Systematic Review Workbook from Texas A&M Systematic Reviews Coordinator Margaret J. Foster provides a detailed guide and template for developing, conducting, and reporting reviews.

The Systematic Review (SR) Toolbox is a comprehensive list of systematic review tools. You can select a tool based on the part of the systematic review you are working on such as: 

  • Protocol development
  • Study selection
  • Quality assessment
  • Data extraction
  • Automated analysis
  • Text analysis
  • Meta-analysis
  • Report write-up
  • Collaboration
  • Document management
