Library FAQs

A systematic review uses all the existing research and is sometime called secondary research (research on research).

The purpose of a systematic review is to deliver a thorough summary of all the available primary (original) research in response to a research question. 

Guidance and links to more information on conducting systematic reviews can be found on the Library Postgraduates and Researchers pages.

More information on conducting a systematic review can also be found on the Sage Research Methods database.
