If you are involved in research in any way, you will, at some point, need to master the systematic review. Rob Calder goes through a step-by-step approach this supposedly simple (but often not) research method.
The systematic review is, in the grand scheme of things, a recent development. It can be done without leaving the office and has become a mainstay of MSc dissertations and first-year PhD students. A systematic review is easy to access and sits (nearly) at the top of the strength of evidence checklist. When done well, it can answer important questions, when done badly it can waste a lot of time.
