DESCRIPTION:**Introduction:** Rapid growth in the publication of systematic
  reviews over the past several years has amplified the importance of libra
 rian support and participation in evidence synthesis. Beyond serving as se
 arch strategy experts\, librarians guide researchers in selecting the appr
 opriate type of review for their research objectives and educate them abou
 t best practices and reporting guidelines.  \n\n**Methods:** Using the Web
  of Science database\, the authors identified a sample of 100 systematic r
 eviews published in the last five years across ten health and science disc
 iplines\, including Nursing\, Nutrition & Dietetics\, Health Care Sciences
  & Services\, Public Health\, and Veterinary Sciences. The authors assesse
 d the quality of the systematic reviews’ methodologies using common reco
 mmendations from best practice guidelines\, such as the Cochrane Handbook 
 and the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis. In each discipline\, we identif
 ied trends in methodologies and reporting practices\, and analyzed their c
 orrelation with journal impact factors and citations rates. \n\n**Analysis
  and Discussion:** Results of our analysis emphasize the variability in sy
 stematic review methodology and reporting quality. Authors frequently sele
 ct inappropriate review typologies and inconsistently apply systematic rev
 iew guidelines across disciplines. By understanding systematic review prac
 tices and publication trends across health and science research communitie
 s\, librarians can engage more effectively with the researchers they suppo
 rt. By identifying common mistakes in reporting practices\, librarians can
  raise researcher awareness about issues in syntheses rigor and publicatio
 n cultures.
