Does this skill help with PRISMA compliance?

Yes, it is specifically designed to follow PRISMA 2020 and PRISMA-ScR guidelines, helping you document search strings and flow diagrams correctly.

Which review methodologies are supported by B1?

B1 supports six major types: Systematic Review (PRISMA), Scoping Review (JBI), Meta-Synthesis, Realist Synthesis, Narrative Review, and Rapid Review.

Can I use this for rapid policy reviews?

Absolutely. It includes a specific Rapid Review methodology that balances time constraints (2-4 weeks) with transparent reporting of shortcuts taken.

How does the VS-Research process improve my literature search?

It explicitly identifies common 'modal' pitfalls—like searching only one database or ignoring grey literature—and proposes 'long-tail' strategies to ensure higher recall and academic rigor.
