Evidence Synthesis - the structured process of gathering, evaluating, and integrating findings from multiple research studies and other relevant sources to provide a comprehensive and reliable understanding of a specific question or topic. This can be used to determine the effectiveness of treatments or interventions, summarize the current state of knowledge on a subject, compare the outcomes of different approaches or policies, identify gaps and uncertainties in the existing research, and support evidence-based decision-making in fields such as psychology, social work, education, environmental management, and public policy. Examples include systematic reviews and scoping reviews.

Research Impact (bibliometrics/altmetrics) - the application of quantitative methods to analyze published literature and understand how knowledge is produced, disseminated, and used. By examining patterns in publications and citations, bibliometrics and altmetrics can be used to measure research productivity, assess the influence of authors, institutions, journals, or countries, identify emerging topics and research trends, map collaboration networks among researchers and organizations, and track the development and impact of scientific fields over time.

Information Literacy - the ability to locate, evaluate, use, and communicate information effectively and ethically. It enables individuals to identify reliable sources, assess the credibility and relevance of information, distinguish evidence-based claims from misinformation, and apply information appropriately to solve problems, answer questions, make decisions, or create new knowledge.
