What we do

Six stages, one review, one line we don’t cross.

Book a single stage or the full lifecycle. We can deliver a complete systematic or literature review from scratch, or strengthen work already underway.

Protocol & Registration

[1] Planning & registration

A protocol locked in before screening begins is what separates a defensible review from one that draws reviewer objections. We help frame your question with PICO/PICOS, set eligibility criteria, and prepare your protocol for PROSPERO registration.

  • ✓PICO / PICOS framing
  • ✓Eligibility criteria design
  • ✓PROSPERO registration support
  • ✓Protocol document drafting

Search Strategy

[2] Finding the evidence

Your search strategy determines what your review can and can't find. We design and document search strings across your chosen databases, built to be exhaustive and fully reproducible.

  • ✓Multi-database search design
  • ✓Reproducible search strings
  • ✓Grey literature & registry searches
  • ✓PRISMA-compliant documentation
Explore Search Strategy →

Screening & Data Extraction

[3] Screening & extraction

Dual independent screening and structured data extraction, with a documented conflict-resolution process at every stage, the rigor that lets your PRISMA flow diagram hold up under scrutiny.

  • ✓Dual independent screening
  • ✓Structured extraction forms
  • ✓Conflict resolution tracking
  • ✓PRISMA flow diagram reporting
Explore Screening & Data Extraction →

Risk of Bias & GRADE

[4] Quality assessment

The right tool matched to the right study design, RoB 2 for randomized trials, ROBINS-I for non-randomized studies, plus GRADE certainty ratings that accurately reflect your evidence base.

  • ✓RoB 2 for RCTs
  • ✓ROBINS-I for observational studies
  • ✓GRADE certainty ratings
  • ✓Quality appraisal reporting
Explore Risk of Bias & GRADE →

Meta-Analysis Support

[5] Statistical synthesis

Model selection, heterogeneity assessment, and sensitivity analyses done properly, not just a pooled estimate run and reported. Forest plots and funnel plots included where the data supports them.

  • ✓Fixed & random-effects models
  • ✓Heterogeneity (I²) assessment
  • ✓Subgroup & sensitivity analyses
  • ✓Forest & funnel plot generation
Explore Meta-Analysis Support →

Review Writing & Editing

[6] Publication-ready

From-scratch systematic review writing or a final manuscript edit, checked against the PRISMA 2020 checklist so the review is coherent, rigorous, and publication-ready.

  • ✓Full review writing from scratch
  • ✓PRISMA 2020 checklist compliance
  • ✓Line editing & clarity review
  • ✓Journal formatting & reviewer responses

Our services cover the full review lifecycle: we can write systematic reviews and literature reviews from scratch, or provide focused methodology, analysis, writing, and editing support for work already underway. We do not fabricate evidence, misrepresent authorship, or compromise research integrity.

Who we help

We work with reviewers at every stage.

From a doctoral candidate writing their first review chapter to a research team commissioning a full Cochrane-standard review.

PhD candidates & doctoral researchers

Methodology consulting for a systematic review chapter, from protocol through defense, with feedback on your own work, not a review written for you.

Clinicians & medical researchers

Cochrane and PRISMA-aligned support for clinical and healthcare systematic reviews, from consultants who understand clinical terminology.

Researchers with data, no statistician

Meta-analysis support to help you choose, run, and interpret pooled estimates and heterogeneity statistics.

Research teams & institutions

Multi-reviewer support for departments and labs commissioning a full review as a single, fixed-price project.

International researchers

Language editing that corrects grammar and phrasing for an academic audience while preserving your findings and voice.

Grant & policy researchers

Evidence synthesis support for funding applications and policy briefs that need a defensible evidence base.

How it works

Four steps, always with you in the loop.

1

Tell us about your review

Share your research question, timeline, and what stage of the review you need support with.

2

We match a methodologist

A specialist with relevant subject-matter and methodological experience takes your project.

3

Review tracked changes

Get your work back with visible edits and margin notes explaining the methodological reasoning.

4

Ask follow-up questions

Message your consultant directly if anything needs clarifying before your deadline.

Sarah brings a background in scholarly publishing and journal production, with particular depth in target-journal formatting and drafting point-by-point responses to peer reviewer comments.

Scholarly PublishingJournal Submission

Team members without a photo are represented with an illustrated avatar rather than a stock photograph.

Every methodologist and consultant works within the same boundary: they review, edit, and advise on a review you’ve authored. None of them write submissions on a client’s behalf.
FAQs

Common questions, answered plainly.

No. We consult on methodology and edit work you’re authoring yourself — protocol, search strategy, screening, risk-of-bias assessment, meta-analysis, and manuscript editing. We do not write or submit a review under our own name.

Your project, backed by policy

No fine print, no surprises.

Satisfaction guarantee

Not satisfied? We revise within scope at no extra cost.

Deadline commitment

A delivery date is confirmed before work begins, and we hold to it.

Revision included

One revision round within 7 days of delivery, every order.

NDA on every project

Your work is confidential by default and never shared or reused.
