Round of Systematic Reviews The volume of new development research available is growing rapidly and increased the need for consolidated but robust evidence that can be more readily applied to decision making in both developing countries and donor agencies. Systematic reviews use a rigorous methodology, to select and synthesize results of a range of existing studies (both published and unpublished) that meet pre-defined criteria. Systematic reviews aim to find as much as possible of the research relevant to particular questions, and use explicit methods to identify what can reliably be said on the basis of these studies. Such reviews then go on to synthesize research findings in a form which is easily applied to policy or practice decisions. In this way, systematic reviews reduce the bias which can occur in other approaches to reviewing research evidence.
