Systematic Literature Review Services for CROs
EviMeRx provides overflow capacity and methodological support to contract research organisations — full systematic reviews, or single stages of a review already underway, delivered to your SOPs.
CRO demand for evidence synthesis is lumpy. A bid lands, the timeline is fixed, and the screening volume turns out larger than scoped. Carrying permanent headcount for that peak is expensive; missing the timeline is worse. We work as the flexible capacity underneath it.
Overflow capacity on a fixed timeline
Screening and extraction are the stages that absorb unplanned volume, and they are the easiest to hand off cleanly because the protocol already defines the method. Give us the protocol and the search output and we work to your criteria, not ours.
Single-stage support
We take on any discrete stage of a review in progress:
- Protocol — framing the question and writing the method
- Search — strategy development and execution across databases
- Screening — dual independent title/abstract and full-text passes
- Extraction — to your template, independently verified
- Synthesis and reporting — evidence tables and PRISMA-compliant write-up
Second-reviewer and quality assurance work
Where your team has completed first-pass screening or extraction, we provide the independent second reviewer that methodological standards require. This is often the fastest way to bring an at-risk review back into compliance without restarting it.
Working to your SOPs
We follow the client's procedures, templates and documentation standards rather than imposing ours. Deliverables arrive in the format your QA process expects, with the audit trail it requires, so the work drops into your existing review file without reformatting.
Confidentiality
We sign NDAs before project initiation and work under client confidentiality as standard. Where a CRO's end client requires it, project material stays within the systems and storage the contract specifies.
