CEEDER evidence database

CEEDER evidence database provides a comprehensive database that aggregates evidence reviews and applies independent assessments to evaluate the conduct, reporting, and data limitations of reviews informing environmental management and intervention effectiveness.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive aggregation: Aggregates commercially published syntheses and grey literature including critical reviews, meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and rapid reviews.
• Independent assessment framework: Evaluates key aspects of the conduct, reporting, and data limitations of evidence reviews.
• Assessment focus: Specifically targets reviews that claim to assess environmental impacts or intervention effectiveness.
• Standards and reliability metrics: Applies rigorous assessment standards to identify and communicate review reliability.

Scientific Applications:

• Informing environmental management: Supports evidence-informed decision-making for environmental policy and management by identifying reliable reviews.
• Identifying high-reliability syntheses: Enables users to distinguish higher-quality evidence reviews from lower-quality ones.
• Improving review standards: Provides evaluations that can be used to guide improvements in the conduct and reporting of future evidence syntheses.

Methodology:

Aggregates published and grey evidence reviews (critical reviews, meta-analyses, systematic reviews, rapid reviews) into a database and applies an independent assessment framework to evaluate conduct, reporting, and data limitations of reviews addressing environmental impacts or intervention effectiveness.
