Eleanor Whitfield leads the methodology side of the practice, from the first scoping conversation about a review question to the PRISMA-reported manuscript. She has spent more than fifteen years working on evidence synthesis across clinical, public health, and social science questions, and she has guided dozens of teams through protocol registration, dual screening, and risk-of-bias assessment.
Her interest is in the decisions that quietly determine whether a review holds together: how an eligibility criterion is worded, why a particular risk-of-bias tool fits a study design, and how to report a deviation from protocol honestly. She writes the fundamentals, protocol, extraction, and reporting guidance on this site, and reviews the rest for methodological accuracy.
