It depends on your research question and the type of the studies you choose to include. In any case however, the methodology of almost any systematic review consists of the following elements:

- Eligibility Criteria

- Search Strategy and Study Selection

- Data Extraction

- Quality Appraisal/ risk of bias assessment

Aim for at least 4 databases for your search.The screening of the search results should ideally be done by two reviewers (independently). The same should be applied for the data extraction. If you were referring to the format of the systematic review then you could follow the PRISMA or the Cochrane guidelines.

And check the Cochrane handbook for systematic reviews for more details: https://training.cochrane.org/handbook . Also, there's a very good free course on systematic reviews and meta-analyses conduction on coursera. https://www.coursera.org/learn/systematic-review/

Hi Trajano F. B. X. da Silva There are various types of systematic reviews and the methodology will depend on your research question. Best thing for you to do is start by reading the structure of a systematic review protocols by referring to PRISMA-P, then you can go ahead and get oriented to the steps involved. Many researcher would refer to COCHRANE handbook, however, in addition to that you can also go to Joanna Briggs, NIH, Campbell collaboration websites for further understanding on the subject. Do have a look at EQUATOR network websites also for technical guidance.

Hope this helps

Thank you Theophilus Lakiang !!!

Hi Trajano F. B. X. da Silva. The best methodology to conduct a systematic review is PRISMA-P.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks Periklis Charalampous !!!

In addition to Pericles Charalambous answer, many journals ask for a PRISMA checklist to be provided along with your manuscript. If you did not adhere to this checklist whilst analyzing your data and writing your paper, your study may very quickly start to look poorly executed (based on the checklist criteria).

Therefore it would be best to start out writing the review using this checklist rather than filling it out afterwards.

Dear Trajano F. B. X. da Silva If maybe your review is for publich health or public policy decistions, The Eppicentre from London School (http://eppi.ioe.ac.uk/cms/) and also McMaster Univerity (https://www.mcmasterforum.org/find-evidence/overview) could give you some guidlines for make a systemtic review in this topics. As our colleagues say, all depends on your research question and the type of the studies you choose to include.

Dear Trajano F. B. X. da Silva

I would recommend that you look at this catalogue of tools for systematic reviews by the Cochrane group.

https://community.cochrane.org/help/tools-and-software/systematic-review-toolbox

If your systematic review is in Education, I highly recommend reviewing Dr. Steven Graham´s papers (He has published some systematic reviews). They could give ideas.
