Systematic reviews

Systematic reviews look at a whole body of work on a topic, using set ways of deciding what is relevant, how the quality of different studies should be judged and how the messages should be brought together. SCIE has worked with other organisations to develop a way of undertaking systematic reviews that takes account of a range of different types and quality of knowledge in social care.
