A new ecosystem for evidence synthesis [PDF]

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2020
Synthesizing evidence is an essential part of scientific progress, but it is often done in a slow and uncoordinated manner, sometimes producing misleading conclusions. Here, we propose the idea of an 'open synthesis community' to resolve this pressing issue.

A fresh approach to evidence synthesis [PDF]

Nature, 2018
For most conservation interventions, insufficient evidence exists for investigators to be able to conduct a meta-analysis for each species or genus. However, by being apprised of studies that examine how a particular intervention has worked for an order — for birds in general, say — practitioners can better weigh up the chances of success for their ...

Rethinking credible evidence synthesis [PDF]

BMJ, 2012
Government regulators and systematic reviewers both aim to generate an accurate understanding of the effects of interventions. However, the methods they use, and the evidence they consider, are different. Although both focus on randomised clinical trials for determining safety and efficacy, the mostly academic community of systematic reviewers ...
