In addition to conducting guidelines, researchers are expected to follow reporting guidelines when conducting systematic reviews. Below are several examples of reporting standards for evidence synthesis.
For more in-depth information on these guidelines, please visit the Guidelines & Standards section.

"CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) is a high-level taxonomy, including 14 roles, that can be used to represent the roles typically played by contributors to research outputs. The roles describe each contributor’s specific contribution to the scholarly output" (CRediT).
The roles describe each contributor's specific contribution to the scholarly output:

Citation practices play a crucial role in academia, but they can inadvertently perpetuate biases and exclude marginalized voices. To promote equity, researchers should actively cite diverse perspectives, challenge traditional norms, and consider qualitative research alongside quantitative methods
Open access is the practice of sharing scholarly research outputs (articles, reports, data, etc.) freely online without paywall barriers. Making Duke research open access supports the university’s mission of “knowledge in the service of society” by allowing anyone with an internet connection to access groundbreaking scholarship by Duke’s researchers (Duke Libraries ScholarWorks).
Some open-access scholarly journals operate on a model of charging authors article processing fees upon acceptance. In order to reduce barriers to publishing in these journals, Duke Libraries has made agreements to waive or discount these fees for our authors.
