A systematic review is a scientific review article that aims to systematically identify, evaluate, and summarize the available research on a clearly defined research question. A carefully developed literature search strategy forms the basis for robust results. Our services for systematic reviews support TUM students and TUM researchers in preparing the methodology and in conducting and documenting the search.

As a basis, our guide offers a practice-oriented introduction to systematic review. It provides key information on the method and navigates users through the steps of the process. In addition, our experts provide advice on individual systematic review issues, in the consultation session for Literature Research & Search Strategies, including:

  • Feedback on your search strategy plan
  • Suggestions for selecting appropriate databases and portals
  • Advice on the use of advanced search techniques, e.g., with AI tools
  • Information on access options for full texts

Our services help address common challenges in systematic reviews at an early stage and support a goal-oriented, transparent review process.
