Developing research methods is central to the EPPI-Centre’s work. The following areas of the website provide resources for people interested in the mechanics of systematic research synthesis:

Gough D, Oliver S, Thomas J (2012) An Introduction to Systematic Reviews. London: Sage

Tools - The tools page provides information and links to various data coding and management tools and guidelines.
