Evidence Reviews

The Mindful Sceptics Rapid Evidence Review process is a systematic but efficient route to synthesising current evidence on a specific topic.

Specialist AI tools can be quicker and more efficient for this—we like Perplexity AI and Scispace for search, Enago Read for analysis and connected papers for related research—but we also like the human touch.

We begin by formulating a straightforward research question and identifying relevant keywords. Then, we conduct a comprehensive literature search using academic databases, especially Google Scholar, and, for some topics, a more general search of grey literature sources.

Research sources are selected based on our predefined relevance criteria, and their quality is assessed by following our evidence hierarchy. Essential information is extracted using a standardised template, and findings are synthesised to provide an overview of the current evidence.

This method, while streamlined compared to a full systematic review, still maintains rigorous standards of objectivity and thoroughness. It's designed to provide a timely yet reliable summary of evidence to inform decision-making or guide further research. It aligns well with the principles of mindful scepticism, encouraging a careful examination of available evidence while acknowledging the complexities and potential limitations of current research.
