abstract: Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are powerful tools deployed in the pursuit of evidence-based practice. The Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (JAC) welcomes the submission of these types of article; however, it is crucial that these studies are conducted properly. In this article we outline the advantages and limitations inherent in these approaches, and the features that we look for when this type of article is submitted to JAC.
