This guide was adapted from How to Find and Conduct Systematic Reviews by Dr. Barbara Sorondo from Florida International University and from Systematic Reviews: the process at Duke University.
1. Make a list of all the subjects, fields, and disciplines that may contribute information about your topic.
2. Identify the databases associated with the subjects, fields, and disciplines on your list. For a systematic review, you should be as comprehensive as possible, but depending on your time constraints, you may choose to use only the top databases in each subject, field, or discipline.
