We are at capacity for projects and are not accepting new review requests. Please check back again at a later time or utilize the suggestions below.
We suggest taking our How to Perform Literature Searches for Systematic, Scoping and Other Reviews course if you want to execute the search yourself.
If we've reached maximum capacity with projects and your project can't wait, you might be able to leverage a librarian at a different institution if someone on your team has another affiliation, or you could hire a contract librarian if you have the funds available. Listed below are ways to find an independent contract worker to perform the literature search:
Treadwell offers two levels of service. The level names reflect the credit the librarian will receive for their participation in the project.
Acknowledgement Level
Co-authorship Level (following ICMJE authorship standards)
Peer reviewing a Medline and/or Cochrane CENTRAL search will amount to acknowledgment credit and peer reviewing anything else (databases in addition to or other than Medline or Cochrane CENTRAL) will mean a co-authorship credit.
For the acknowledgment level, we will not edit your search directly. Instead, we offer feedback similar to grading a paper.

The course is live and available for enrollment below. You'll need to sign in using your MGB username and password:
