Several organisations that fund or conduct knowledge synthesese such as systematic reviews recommend, if not require, having an information specialist or librarian on the research team (IOM, Cochrane, CIHR, Campbell Collaboration). Due to the amount of time required in this process and the need to respect course, thesis, or dissertation requirements, librarian involvement generally differs for academic staff versus students.
The following information also applies to other types of knowledge syntheses, such as scoping reviews or rapid reviews.
