A Systematic Review includes these types of searching:

1. Preliminary: Identify existing reviews on the topic, assess the volume of potentially relevant reviews and locate a minimum of two-four articles to use as exemplar articles.
2. Exhaustive searches: Used to identify as many publications as possible which meet the study requirements
3. Hand searching: Find the grey literature: conference proceedings, poster abstracts, un-indexed conference presentations. 
4. Cited reference searching: Review the references cited by included and highly-relevant articles
5. Finding unpublished and about-to-be published articles:Contact organizations, listservs and even the authors
