Review Types

This guide will help you get started with determining which type of review is right for you and your research project.

Although systematic reviews are well known, they may not necessarily be the best type of review for your research. These other review types vary in terms of scope, comprehensiveness, time constraints, and types of studies included. 

Take some time to explore the different types of reviews profiled in this guide. If you are still unsure of what review is right for you, check out the 'Which Review Should I Do?' tab. There, you will find tools to help you determine which type of review is best suited for your research. If you still have questions regarding which review is appropriate for your research, do not hesitate to reach out via the Netter Library's Ask A Librarian tool for assistance.
