Systematic reviews are complicated. Ensuring that they are reproducible and open is even more complex, and it's easy to overlook things or to adopt a workflow which makes reproducibility and transparency difficult to achieve. Whilst there are many (brilliant!) existing guidelines for conducting systematic reviews, many of these focus on a particular type of research centred around interventions. The NIRO Systematic Review checklist aims to provide a comprehensive set of guidelines for non-interventional research to help bring the gold-standard of evidence synthesis to other areas of research.
NIRO is a work in progress, led by Marta Topor and Jade Pickering with an amazing bunch of collaborators. If you're interested in the project, get in touch with Marta or Jade (contact details on the contributors page).
This website will be updated in due course as we finalise the project!
