- Cochrane Library - Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews This link opens in a new windowThe Cochrane Library is a collection of six databases that contain evidence to inform decision-making. Select the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews to exclusively search systematic reviews.
- JBI This link opens in a new windowThis specialty database from the Joanna Briggs Institute spans a range of medical, nursing, and healthcare specialties and includes evidence summaries, systematic reviews, best practice guidelines, and more. JBI does not draw their contents from published journals like many of our database resources; they publish their own research. It is a vastly smaller database than CINAHL or Medline, but a great source of high-quality systematic reviews.
