The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses are key to the success of your review project.

We will be joined by guest speaker Matthew J Page, lead author of the PRISMA 2020 statement.
Please submit your questions via the registration form by Monday 13 March for inclusion in the session agenda. We'll answer as many as we can in the time available.
