Methodology support for the review you’re already writing.
Protocol design, search strategy, screening, risk-of-bias assessment, meta-analysis, and PRISMA-compliant reporting — from a team that works exclusively on systematic reviews.
We edit and advise on your original work. We never author submissions for academic credit.

Six stages, one review, one line we don’t cross.
Book a single stage or the full lifecycle. Every stage strengthens a review you’re authoring — none of them produce a review submitted under our name instead of yours.
Protocol & Registration
[1] Planning & registrationA 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 evidenceYour 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
Screening & Data Extraction
[3] Screening & extractionDual 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
Risk of Bias & GRADE
[4] Quality assessmentThe 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
Meta-Analysis Support
[5] Statistical synthesisModel 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
Manuscript & Review Editing
[6] Publication-readyFull-manuscript editing checked line-by-line against the PRISMA 2020 checklist, so nothing gets flagged on a reporting technicality after all the methodology work is done right.
- ✓PRISMA 2020 checklist compliance
- ✓Line editing & clarity review
- ✓Journal formatting
- ✓Response-to-reviewers support

- ✓Coach you through revisions and reviewer responses
What we don’t do
- ✕Write or submit a review under our own authorship
- ✕Fabricate or alter data, screening, or extraction results
- ✕Register a protocol without your knowledge or approval
- ✕Guarantee a specific journal acceptance outcome
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 — 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.
Four steps, always with you in the loop.
Tell us about your review
Share your research question, timeline, and what stage of the review you need support with.
We match a methodologist
A specialist with relevant subject-matter and methodological experience takes your project.
Review tracked changes

Meet a few of our methodologists and consultants.
Every specialist holds an advanced degree relevant to systematic review methodology and is vetted for consulting experience before taking on client work.
Dr. Amara Chen
PhD, Epidemiology
Amara focuses on systematic review methodology — protocol design, PICO framing, PRISMA compliance, and risk-of-bias assessment — drawing on a background in public health research and evidence synthesis.
Dr. Samuel Osei
PhD, Biostatistics
Samuel focuses on the statistical side of evidence synthesis — meta-analytic modeling, heterogeneity assessment, and GRADE certainty ratings — complementing methodology consulting with hands-on statistical execution.
Dr. Priya Nair
PhD, Information Science
Priya designs and documents reproducible search strategies across medical and academic databases, with particular depth in grey literature and trial registry searches for hard-to-find evidence.
James Okafor
MA, English & Editing
James brings a background in academic copyediting, with a focus on checking manuscripts line-by-line against the PRISMA 2020 checklist and preserving a writer’s own voice through the editing process.
Dr. Lauren Ito
PhD, Research Methodology
Lauren designs structured screening and data extraction processes, with particular attention to inter-rater reliability and documented conflict-resolution methods across dual-reviewer teams.
Dr. Grace Mwangi
DNP, Nurse Educator
Grace consults on clinical and healthcare systematic reviews, staying close to clinical practice as a nurse educator, with particular depth in Cochrane-aligned methodology for medical evidence synthesis.
Dr. Elena Kowalski
PhD, Qualitative Research Methods
Elena specializes in qualitative and mixed-methods systematic reviews — thematic synthesis, meta-ethnography, and framework synthesis — for review questions that quantitative pooling alone can’t answer.
Sarah Bennett
MA, Publishing & Editorial Studies
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.
