"Elaine’s expertise as a librarian has been invaluable to our systematic review. With her Systematic Review Services Specialization (SRSS) certification, she developed a robust search strategy, conducted comprehensive database searches, and guided us on protocol and reporting methods. She’ll continue to support us with final draft reviews and a reproducible search methodology in the appendices. She remains a valuable member of our research group and I highly recommend her skills and expertise."
