Systematic Reviews Communications Policy

Communication with the researchers, principal investigators, co-investigators, and research staff working on a systematic review project with a librarian is critical to ensure adherence of collaborative responsibilities.

Researchers should communicate, review, and provide feedback within 15 business days of receiving a request for input from the liaison librarian on search strategies, protocols or any other pertinent questions related to the systematic review project.

The liaison librarian working on the project will send a reminder 2 days before the deadline. If there is no communication, the systematic review will be cancelled. The researcher will have to reapply for this service.

For questions, contact the librarian assigned to your project or send a message to: reference.librarian@library.tmc.edu.

Reasonable accommodations will be made in the case of leave (vacation or medical), institutional holidays, emergencies or unanticipated workload. Please communicate with the librarian working on your project.
