1. Align
Meet with a consultant to identify your business and research problems. Work together to determine how scientific review can help and form an initial question to explore.
2. Review
Your consultant evaluates the existing literature to identify patterns, notable reviews, key opinion leaders, and existing evidence on your topic. Then, your consultant recaps their findings.
3. Refine
Iterate on the question together, repeating step 2 as needed to refine the research question and develop search terms that produce focused, relevant results.
4. Scope
Using the question established together, your consultant develops a PICO table of appropriate inclusion criteria. They also compile a list of relevant research papers.
