5.2.7 Data extraction

This section of the review should include details of the types of data extracted for inclusion in the review. Data extraction begins with recording the type of text. Once data extraction of the background details is complete, the extraction becomes highly specific to the nature of the data of interest and the question being asked in the review. Elements of data extraction are undertaken through JBI SUMARI⁴⁰, when you have selected that you are undertaking a textual evidence systematic review.

It is recommended that double textual data extraction is performed independently by two reviewers, outlining procedures for solving disagreements between reviewers. Selecting a tool, or modifying an existing tool for data extraction may be considered by the systematic review team, or the standard tool within JBI SUMARI may be utilized. This may need to be customised depending on the type of textual data. Cite the tool used, or append the data extraction tool if an existing tool was modified or a new tool developed. Authors may need to be contacted for further information or additional data.
