当需要迅速、准确地评估证据以告知有关广泛研究问题的政策，而预算限制限制了大型研究团队的就业时，研究人员面临着一个重大挑战，有时需要审查现有的系统评价。在本文中，我们强调了固有的挑战，在审查的审查（RoR）的方法，以促进了解这一重要工具的政策制定者。借鉴我们的经验，我们提出，在可能的情况下，这些挑战的潜在解决方案，以证明，尽管有其局限性，ROR，可以是有用的调解政策相关的证据的速度。
When swift, accurate appraisal of evidence is required to inform policy concerning broad research questions, and budgetary constraints limit the employment of large research teams, researchers face a significant challenge which is sometimes met by reviewing existing systematic reviews. In this paper we highlight the challenges inherent in the reviews of reviews (RoR) method in order to advance understanding of this important tool for policy makers. Drawing on our experiences, we present, where possible, potential solutions to these challenges to demonstrate that RoRs, despite their limitations, can be useful for mediating policy-relevant evidence at speed.
