The production of quick scoping reviews and rapid evidence assessments: a how to guide

This document contains a brief overview of the different Evidence Reviews (ER) but is written primarily for those intending to commission and/or produce an ER in the form of Quick Scoping Reviews (QSR) or Rapid Evidence Assessments (REA), that lie between literature reviews and SRs in terms of rigour of assessment. These have been found to be well suited to meet the evidence challenges most frequently faced by the authors in meeting policy and practice evidence requirements.
