Evidence synthesis is a process of identifying, selecting, and combining multiple studies to inform practice and policy decisions around a topic or specific research question. The process should be done in standardized ways to avoid bias and to be transparent and reproducible. There are many types of evidence syntheses. Systematic reviews are a well-known evidence synthesis review type, but there are other types (e.g., rapid, scoping, umbrella, narrative, meta-analysis with systematic review).
