Experts | MOSAIC
MOSAIC is committed to conducting high-quality research synthesis, improving research synthesis methods, and promoting the use and uptake of reviews and meta-analyses.

MOSAIC experts lead, support, train, and enhance all aspects of the evidence review and synthesis process, including: library and information sciences; search string formation and electronic database searches; software and database development for citation and data management; screening and coding of abstracts, studies, and effect sizes; quantitative and qualitative synthesis methodology; and evidence communication and knowledge translation.
Many of our experts are What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) certified reviewers, which provides them with a deeper understanding of research design and effect-size estimation.
