“Further details are needed!” Reflections on the reporting in quantitative systematic reviews submitted to JBI Evidence Synthesis

Leonardi-Bee, Jo

Abstract

JBI Evidence Synthesis receives quantitative systematic reviews that employ a wide range of high-quality and innovative methods to address their review questions. While the systematic reviews must follow JBI methodologies or those endorsed by JBI, common issues are noted related to the methods and results of systematic reviews. This commentary describes the 4 most common issues identified across quantitative systematic reviews from the experience of a senior associate editor of the journal.
