Abstract:

This paper reviews the recent literature on public involvement in systematic reviews. It includes a review of how organisations, mainly the Cochrane Network, involve the public, as well as how the public are involved in individual systematic reviews. The involvement was reported to make a difference in:

  • refining the scope of the review
  • suggesting and locating relevant literature
  • reviewing the literature
  • interpreting the findings
  • writing up the review.
