This investigation enabled the identification of researchers’ strengths and weaknesses and assessed their adherence to established best-practice guidelines. Building on these findings, the present follow-up study sought to transition from descriptive observation to targeted intervention. Objectives: This project aimed to address the previously identified gaps and to promote adherence to best practices across the institution by: (1) enhancing engagement between researchers and the systematic review service, and (2) monitoring institutional publications to evaluate methodological quality and practices over time. Methods: To achieve these objectives, we implemented two complementary strategies. First, a user experience study of the systematic review service was conducted to understand researchers’ needs. Insights were gathered through semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and targeted interventions within medical departments. Second, a quality assessment dashboard was developed to systematically track and evaluate institutional systematic reviews. Results: The user experience study informed service refinements, including improved communication, optimized methodological tools, and the potential development of tailored training sessions. The quality assessment dashboard provided a longitudinal overview of institutional trends, and the evaluation of methodological rigor over time. Together, these outcomes will guide evidence-based interventions designed to improve the overall quality of systematic reviews across the institution.
