Screenshot of the “JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis – 2024 Edition” webpage. A blue header spans the top with the title and a search box; a left sidebar lists sections (Table of Contents, Contributors, and chapters on systematic review methods), while the main panel shows a “Welcome to the new edition…” introduction with paragraphs of text and two small preview images on the right. Text reads: Welcome to the new edition of the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis.
This manual guides authors who wish to conduct systematic and scoping reviews following JBI methodologies. Each chapter is devoted to the synthesis of different types of evidence to address different types of clinical and policy-related questions.
JBI is an international evidence-based healthcare organisation that works with 90+ Universities, Health Facilities and NGOs (known as the JBI Collaboration) worldwide. The organisation focuses on improving health outcomes globally by producing and disseminating research evidence, software, training, resources and publications relating to evidence-based healthcare.
JBI and its Collaborating Entities promote and support the synthesis, transfer and implementation of evidence by identifying feasible, appropriate, meaningful and effective healthcare practices to assist in the improvement of healthcare outcomes globally. One of our strengths is in the conduct of systematic reviews that reflect a broad, inclusive approach to evidence and accommodate a range of diverse questions and study designs.
The first three editions of the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis were published in book format. Since 2017 subsequent editions have been published online.
This Manual is presented in an online wiki format to facilitate rapid inclusion of developments and updates to JBI methodologies and methods for evidence synthesis.
A PDF version of the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis is available to download
JBI’s methodological guidance for scoping reviews and diverse types of systematic reviews is provided in the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis: bit.ly/4bnCXtL
