Collaborative review typically involves several key steps:
1. Formation of a Review Team: A diverse group of experts from different fields (e.g., oncology, molecular biology, epidemiology) is assembled. 2. Defining the Scope: The team defines the scope and objectives of the review, including specific research questions. 3. Literature Search: Comprehensive searches of relevant databases are conducted to gather existing studies. 4. Data Extraction and Synthesis: Data from identified studies are extracted and synthesized, often using systematic review or meta-analysis techniques. 5. Discussion and Interpretation: The team discusses the findings, identifies gaps, and makes recommendations for future research.
