Evidence Synthesis in the Social Sciences

This guide will give you an overview of evidence synthesis methodology and discuss relevant resources and tools.

A note for social science researchers

Evidence synthesis methodology was developed mainly in the hard sciences so while this guide is geared towards social science researchers, a lot of the resources and further readings will be pulled from these various science disciplines (especially medicine). In our current staffing environment, our liaison librarians do not have the capacity to support evidence synthesis beyond the resources provided in this guide.
