What roles do librarians and information professionals play in conducting systematic reviews? Librarians are increasingly called upon to be involved in systematic reviews, but no study has considered all the roles librarians can perform. This inventory of existing and emerging roles aids in defining librarians' systematic reviews services.
For this scoping review, the authors conducted controlled vocabulary and text-word searches in the PubMed; Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts; and CINAHL databases. We separately searched for articles published in the the and We also text-word searched Medical Library Association annual meeting poster and paper abstracts.
We identified 18 different roles filled by librarians and other information professionals in conducting systematic reviews from 310 different articles, book chapters, and presented papers and posters. Some roles were well known such as searching, source selection, and teaching. Other less documented roles included planning, question formulation, and peer review. We summarize these different roles and provide an accompanying bibliography of references for in-depth descriptions of these roles.
Librarians play central roles in systematic review teams, including roles that go beyond searching. This scoping review should encourage librarians who are fulfilling roles that are not captured here to document their roles in journal articles and poster and paper presentations.
图书馆员和信息专业人员在开展系统评价中发挥着什么作用？图书馆员越来越多地被要求参与系统评价，但尚无研究考虑过图书馆员能够履行的所有角色。这份关于现有和新兴角色的清单有助于界定图书馆员的系统评价服务。
对于这项范围综述，作者在PubMed、《图书馆、信息科学与技术文摘》和CINAHL数据库中进行了控制词汇检索和文本词检索。我们分别检索了[具体年份1]、[具体年份2]发表的文章。我们还对医学图书馆协会年会的海报和论文摘要进行了文本词检索。
我们从310篇不同的文章、书籍章节以及发表的论文和海报中，确定了图书馆员和其他信息专业人员在开展系统评价时所扮演的18种不同角色。一些角色广为人知，如检索、来源选择和教学。其他记录较少的角色包括规划、问题制定和同行评审。我们总结了这些不同角色，并提供了一份参考文献书目，以便对这些角色进行深入描述。
图书馆员在系统评价团队中发挥着核心作用，包括一些超越检索的角色。这项范围综述应鼓励那些履行了此处未涵盖角色的图书馆员，在期刊文章以及海报和论文展示中记录他们的角色。
