Sender: Herb Turner [hmturner@gse.upenn.edu] Subject: Citations to Papers on Systematic Review Production Dear Colleague: Systematic reviews in health care and the social sciences are increasingly recognized as a valuable tool for decision makers. Numerous organizations have arisen to fulfill a growing demand for high-integrity systematic reviews with practical applications, each with an independent model for their review production process. My coauthors and I are developing a paper on the systematic evaluation of current production models in use. By analyzing elements of review production such as major review steps, evidence standards, resource use, and cost, we plan to develop a framework that enables decision makers to identify the optimal fit between production model elements and their organization’s mission and policy environment. We could use your help to identify papers that might inform our work. If you are aware of such papers, please reply to this email with the citations. Any citations you provide will be greatly appreciated. Herb Turner Director of Scientific Projects The Campbell Collaboration XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX C.
