Abstract
ABSTRACT Systematic review (SR) is a form of investigation that synthesizes existing evidence to provide statements of conclusion and helps guide decision-making in practicing evidence-based medicine. This study uses criteria adapted from PRISMA and AMSTAR2 to evaluate the quality of SRs published in a flagship journal of AAMC, Academic Medicine (AM), and an Open Access journal, BioMed Central Medical Education (BMC). Three authors analyzed 39 articles published in AM and BMC between 2020 and 2021. Evaluation of the two peer-reviewed journals focusing on medical education revealed that the quality of published SRs is not always consistent in following SR guidelines or standards.
