#JBIMethodology

The JBI logo appears in the bottom right, bold white text reads “Methodology Month” on a rounded blue banner, set against a dark blue background with abstract connected lines and nodes representing diverse methodologies grounded in shared principles, forming clear, systematic pathways that guide users step by step to rigorous, transparent, and trustworthy evidence syntheses. The JBI logo depicts a pebble (‘evidence’) dropping into water, symbolising the ripple effect of positive change driven by evidence.

🔥 Hot tip! Before starting a systematic review, make sure an information scientist/research librarian is part of the review team. They have specialised skills to develop & implement a comprehensive search strategy 🔎

Myth: “Expert opinion and policy documents cannot be systematically reviewed.”

Fact: Expert opinion and policy documents can be systematically identified, critically appraised, and synthesised using established textual evidence methodologies.

Methodology Month with JBI logo. The JBI logo is white against a dark blue background. The JBI logo depicts a pebble (‘evidence’) dropping into water, symbolising the ripple effect of positive change driven by evidence. The dark blue background rounded blue banner, set against a dark blue background with shows abstract connected lines and nodes in a lighter shade of blue, and also a deep red. The abstract design represents diverse methodologies grounded in shared principles, forming clear, systematic pathways that guide users step by step to rigorous, transparent, and trustworthy evidence syntheses.

#JBIMethodology Month champions rigorous, diverse methodologies. Because not all healthcare questions are about effectiveness, and different types of evidence need different approaches. Find guidance for conducting robust, trustworthy systematic reviews: synthesismanual.jbi.global
#EBHC

The JBI Model of EBHC is circular representing evidence-based healthcare (EBHC) as a cyclical process. The wedges (Global Health, Evidence Generation, Evidence Synthesis, Evidence Transfer, and Evidence Implementation) provide JBI's conceptualisation of the steps involved in the process of achieving an evidence-based approach to clinical decision-making. Arrows indicate flow can be bi-directional. Outer wedges operationalise the Model's component parts to articulate how they might be actioned in a pragmatic way. At its core is considering feasibility, appropriateness, meaningfulness and effectiveness. This is represented by the words: Feasible, Appropriate, Meaningful, Effective at the centre, or very heart, of the JBI Model of Evidence-based Healthcare.

#JBIMethodology is underpinned by JBI’s unique approach to #EBHC

We consider evidence-based healthcare as decision-making that considers Feasibility, Appropriateness, Meaningfulness as well as Effectiveness of healthcare practices #ThinkFAME

A woman wearing glasses and a blue shirt sits at a desk, looking thoughtfully at a laptop. The image includes the text: “JBI has developed 8 rigorous methodologies for evidence synthesis. We endorse a further 3 external methodologies.” The JBI logo appears in the bottom corner.

A dark blue graphic background with abstract connecting lines features the JBI Evidence Synthesis book cover and JBI logo. The image includes the text: “To adopt the external methodological guidance in the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis, 3 JBI methodology chapters were removed.”

Two people sit at a table in an office setting, working on a laptop and discussing documents. The image includes the text: “This allows JBI to focus our resources on areas where we have unique methodological strengths while leveraging excellence developed by other specialist groups.” The JBI logo appears in the bottom corner.

A graphic featuring a headshot of Zoe Jordan, Executive Director of JBI, against a dark blue background with circuit-board style graphic lines. The quote reads: "If we are serious in our collective commitment to improve the global evidence ecosystem it is critical that we implement measures to prevent redundant work, optimise limited resources, and maximise opportunity to generate real innovation and impact. One simple step we can take immediately is to recognise where methodological strengths lie and eliminate unnecessary repetition." The JBI logo appears in the bottom right corner.

JBI provides 8 methodologies for different types of evidence. Where robust methodological guidance already exists, JBI has chosen to promote its wider adoption, rather than replicate it.

Not all evidence comes from RCTs. Different types of evidence syntheses require different methodologies & tailored critical appraisal. JBI’s critical appraisal checklist use study design-specific criteria appropriate to diverse types of evidence.

Quote from Prof Gill Harvey on the rapid progress of implementation science in aged care and its impact on the sector's dynamic changes: "Implementation science in aged care has really accelerated in recent years. This series of papers provides a comprehensive analysis, distilling down a large body of evidence regarding the complex array of factors that can influence implementation in the dynamic aged care sector. With so much change happening in the sector, tis is very timely."

A 12-month program of work by Flinders University researchers explores real-world complexities translating innovation into sustainable practice in #AgedCare.
