Evidence Synthesis

UTA Libraries Evidence Synthesis Team offers support and partners with researchers working on ES projects using all types of evidence synthesis methodologies requiring comprehensive searching, including but not limited to systematic reviews, scoping reviews, qualitative interpretative meta-syntheses, and more! 

We work with researchers to ensure their reviews and other types of synthesis are of a high quality and consistent with accepted best practices for the review type and discipline, educate researchers through in-class instruction, workshops, and consultations, and provide access to resources and tools to support all stages of the review process. 

Support is available to UTA faculty, staff, and students working on research for publication. Support for thesis, dissertation work, or graded work in any UTA course is more limited.
