Introduction
An evidence table is helpful to populate while you appraise your articles so you can easily find important and pertinent information without going back and re-reading the article. It also aids in the organization of literature and can help make comparisons when you are ready to synthesize the literature into a review. For this course you will populate an evidence table for every article that you appraise.
