The A.T. Still Memorial Library provides two levels of services for systematic and scoping reviews. Librarians can serve as consultants, offering education and feedback on the process, or they can act as co-authors, managing the searches directly as well as participating in the writing of the final article.

Librarians can assist with students projects at the consultant level, but students are required to do the majority of their own work.
*Librarian acknowledgement is appreciated for consultant work
**Librarian co-authorship requires that the team complete the systematic review methodology according to the Cochrane or JBI guidelines and report the review according to the PRISMA standards.
This is a required planning step performed a priori to a scoping review or systematic review. This form follows a modified version of the PRISMA 2020 statement. This protocol will be used solely for library purposes to help with consultation services or in construction of the literature search. All information shared is strictly held confidential. We will respond to your request within 2-3 business days. Please be aware that due to the volume of requests, we may not be able to complete your search immediately. For questions about this form, please contact the service at libmo@atsu.edu or libaz@atsu.edu
