Yes!  Banner Librarians provide Review services and support, with some limitations.  Please read the following information and complete the form (below) for librarian-assisted support.

The library requires reasonable lead time and expectations for completion of these projects. A typical review, or evidence-synthesis project, including Scoping, Systematic or other types of reviews, may require 12-18 months and a team to complete.  If you are new to this research, please read the University of Arizona Systematic Review & Evidence Synthesis Information Guide.

1. What type of review are you pursuing? (Scoping? Narrative? Systematic?) See linked articles to learn more about review types
2. Have you established a project team? What are their roles?
