| dc.description.abstract | Knowledge synthesis, which includes systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and rapid reviews, is an important form of research for the Rady of Faculty of Health Sciences. But how is this research completed, what services are available to support students and researchers doing this work, and what does published KS from the RFHS look like over the last six years? Librarians from the Neil John Maclean Health Sciences Library have collaborated with RFHS faculty, students, and researchers on hundreds of reviews, consulted on innumerable projects, answered thousands of knowledge synthesis questions, and provided hours of in-class and online instruction. Since 2018 we have also offered a multi-part workshop series that allows attendees to add it to their Experience Record. We also recently completed a research study that identified all published KS research produced by the RFHS community since 2017. This allowed us to conclusively identify trends in the overall increase in KS, the incredible growth of specific review types, and possible relationships between librarian collaboration on a KS and the journal impact factor of the published research. Pulling from these two information sources, this presentation will provide an overview of KS research output at RFHS and outline supports available to KS researchers. This session will be valuable for anyone involved in KS research within the RFHS – whether as summer research students or longtime KS investigators. | |
