Systematic and focused literature reviews

Good literature reviews can support a wide range of research needs including the development of conceptual models, trial and program design, value dossiers, marketing and labeling claims, and support for regulatory submissions. A high quality review will answer expressed research questions, evaluate previous research and build a research picture based on exploration of the often multifaceted inter-relationships between different reports and pieces of research. Undertaking such a task in the field of Patient Reported Outcomes often requires the distilling of complex information and ideas from a wealth of different sources and the communication of findings in succinct, systematic and accurate reports.

 

Oxford Outcomes review methods build on recognition of the following principles:

• Well-designed reviews start with carefully-expressed research objectives and a research strategy.
• Resources are essential to a well-executed literature review. This includes appropriate indexes and catalogues but, most importantly, the skills and experience to maximize the likelihood of meeting research objectives.
• Whether a review is comprehensive or focused on answering a specific question, it should be systematic, i.e. guided by a research strategy, transparent, replicable and verifiable.
