让图书馆员作为合著者参与的证据合成产生的结果质量要高于那些没有参与的结果。作为教师、研究人员和信息管理人员，图书馆员拥有对证据合成至关重要的研究方法和信息检索方法的专业知识。研究人员面临着越来越大的压力，需要进行证据综合，为实践和政策制定提供信息。然而，健康科学和医学之外的许多领域并没有既定的指导方针、流程或方法。本文介绍了图书馆员如何领导创建一个跨学科的工具包，研究人员新的证据合成。这些工具的实施，包括一项协议，支持了8项证据综合，重点是2020年10月发表在《自然研究》杂志特别文集中的有效农业干预措施。本文是对工具和流程的逐步概述。我们主张图书馆员在证据合成方面的合作必须成为常态，而不是例外。证据综合项目负责人如果无法接触到合格的图书馆员，可以使用该工具包作为编写透明、可复制评论的切入点。
Evidence syntheses that engage librarians as co‐authors produce higher‐quality results than those that do not. Trained as teachers, researchers, and information managers, librarians possess expert knowledge on research methodologies and information retrieval approaches that are critical for evidence synthesis. Researchers are under increasing pressure to produce evidence syntheses to inform practice and policymaking. Many fields outside of health science and medicine, however, do not have established guidelines, processes, or methodologies. This article describes how librarians led the creation of an interdisciplinary toolkit for researchers new to evidence synthesis. The implementation of the tools, including a protocol, supported eight evidence syntheses focused on effective agricultural interventions published in a special collection in Nature Research in October 2020. This article is a step‐by‐step overview of the tools and process. We advocate that librarian collaboration in evidence synthesis must become the norm, not the exception. Evidence synthesis project leads without access to a qualified librarian may use this toolkit as a point of entry for production of transparent, reproducible reviews.
