About this book
Reviews
“This is a great reference for conducting an umbrella review given the novelty of the methodology and availability of several systematic reviews on a given clinical topic. … This well-written, step-by-step guide to umbrella reviews takes a complex, novel topic and breaks it down into manageable, easy to understand pieces. I would recommend this book for those new to the field and also to those who have done reviews in the past.” (Rajeshwari Nair, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2016)
