Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking a commercial off-the-shelf web-based platform to support the conduct and management of evidence synthesis projects, including systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and other structured literature reviews. The required solution must provide a collaborative, cloud-based environment that enables VA researchers, clinicians, librarians, and trainees to efficiently import, screen, extract, and synthesize research evidence from the literature. The platform must support multi-user collaboration, transparent study selection workflows, and structured data extraction processes to facilitate rigorous, reproducible evidence synthesis. The solution must also provide expert-led support and training for all steps of the evidence synthesis process.
Key features of the required solution include:
• A web-based method of establishing self-registration accounts for VA staff
• A system that supports Single Sign-On (SSO) through LibLynx
• Medical center-specific repositories for all evidence synthesis projects
• A dedicated account manager to oversee the implementation and adoption of the solution
• Customized webinars, training sessions, and marketing materials
• Expansive utilization statistics on request
• Priority Support from evidence synthesis experts with a less than 3-hour response time
