How The People's Review will work.
Everything takes place online.
2: Choose the Question
From your suggestions, we will get a list of great questions. However, The People's Review can only answer one question and YOU will choose it. We will ask you to vote for your favourite question in two rounds of surveys.
3: Plan the Review
We want to hear from you about how to answer the People's favourite question.
4: Select the Studies
To make sure that we have included all possible studies, we have to search wide and far. We will need your help to sift through studies to decide whether YOU think they answer the People's favourite question or not.
5: Extract the Data
Once we have our studies to include in our review. The next step is to take a closer look at them and pull out all the important information.
6: Check for Bias
Now we need to take an even closer look at the studies. This involves checking if there are any flaws (also called bias) in how the studies were done. This helps us know if we can trust the evidence.
7: Interpret the Results
We will pool all the data together and run some tests. We will then need your help to make sense of the review findings.
8: Share the Results
In the final stage we will ask you how the results of the review should be shared.
