EVIDENCE NEEDS FOR RAPID LITERATURE REVIEWS: STARTING WITH A QUESTION
Well informed decision-making in environmental policy and management settings requires classification and synthesis of many types of information and an assessment of its ‘fitness-for-purpose’. For consistent interpretation and rapid implementation, an evidence classification system should be conceptually simple to understand and apply. We developed a framework around an understanding of the relationships between question types, evidence needs, and study-design characteristics that yield suitable evidence. The process begins with a question typology describing five key categories of scientific data and information types as candidates for ‘evidence’ i.e. raw data, data collations or summaries, secondary information, information derived from the analysis of cause-effect relationships, and model outputs. These categories are applied within a framework to rapidly classify evidence for relevance, quality and suitability. Our framework assists in addressing the ‘context dependency’ of questions and evidence, which is at the core of understanding the type of scientific evidence needed to inform environmental decisions.
