Evidence Based Social Science in China Paper 3: The quality of social science systematic reviews and meta-analysis published from 2000-2019

Systematic reviews (SR) adopt a comprehensive method to search, collect, select, evaluate and synthesize all high-quality research evidence in related fields for a specific research problem. SRs should have key features, including developing a detailed search strategy and systematic coding, analysis and reporting. Systematic reviews also assess the confidence we can have in the findings of a study through critical appraisal or quality assessment [1]. Quality assessment is the grading of the research quality according to pre-established criteria.
