Hypothesis, Vol. 37, No. 1, 2025

This special issue explores emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping the field of
evidence synthesis. Featuring cutting-edge insights, it highlights the transformative role of AI,
the growing demand for comprehensive evidence reviews, and the need for enhanced training
opportunities. Additionally, it emphasizes research about the importance of guidelines and
reporting standards in advancing the quality and transparency of evidence synthesis work.
The issue also addresses critical challenges, such as the rise in retractions and their
implications for the field.

With a diverse range of content types—including brief reports, “voices of experience,” and
research articles—this issue aims to provide perspectives that inform and inspire practitioners,
researchers, and educators. We are especially interested in contributions from
early-to-mid-career information professionals and student-led contributions as they shape the
future of evidence synthesis.

Join us in charting the path forward for evidence synthesis!
