*Updated January 7, 2020*
Systematic review processes are continuously evolving, refining, and updating. What was considered "best practice" for a systematic review in the 2010's is a lot different than what we see in 2020.
In this updated systematic review lifecycle infographic, you can see the circular nature of a systematic review. Today's systematic reviews still follow a prescriptive process and we are placing more emphasis on how the review will need to be updated if new content becomes available to keep up with the demand of evidence-based research.
If you're feeling a little overwhelmed about starting a new systematic review, you can download the PDF version of this infographic below for your own records.
