Evidence synthesis can feel daunting, but McMaster Libraries are here to help.
In this session, Health Sciences and STEM librarians share their cross-disciplinary experience supporting evidence synthesis research projects. They will provide an overview of the major steps, with particular focus on developing well-defined questions, selecting sources, and designing transparent, reproducible search strategies. Short live polls will surface common questions and spark discussion, while practical tips will point you to the tools, services, and people ready to help you navigate the process and streamline your work.
Whether you are planning a full review or simply curious about best practices, join this session to see evidence synthesis through the lens of McMaster librarians and leave with a focused roadmap for success.
Presented by Katie Merriman, Teaching & Learning Librarian (STEM), and Sarah Cairns, Health Sciences Librarian and Nursing program liaison.
