  • 1.  Roadmap of Freely Available Systematic Review Resources

    Posted Apr 16, 2025 03:20 PM
    We invite you to check out a newly created resource guide Bridging the Gap: A Roadmap of Free Resources for Systematic Review Training, developed by the SCC Early Career Librarian Initiative. The guide is openly licensed, so please feel free to share and pass along.  This roadmap provides a list of freely available Systematic Review (SR) tools and resources. Resources are organized according to Townsend et al.'s six SR competencies (2017), making it easier to find appropriate content. Librarians, regardless of familiarity with systematic reviews or institutional resources, will be able to find training to build skills and competencies to suit individual needs and interests.
