Updating literature search results

Before submitting your systematic review manuscript for publication you may want to update the search results. This will ensure that anything that was published since the search was first run will be accounted for. Contact your collaborating librarian about running an updated search. 

Reviewing the search methods section

Your collaborating librarian can review the search methods section of your manuscript prior to submitting for publication. This ensures that the search methods are reported accurately. Keep in mind that PRISMA standards state that you must include at least one reproducible search strategy in your systematic review reporting.
