Abstract
This presentation underscores the significance of novelty in research and provides a comprehensive overview of systematic reviews and meta-analyses as essential research methodologies. The key points covered include:

1.Definition of Novelty:
Novelty in research involves introducing new elements, such as innovative methodologies or unique findings, that contribute to the advancement of knowledge. It is a critical factor in driving scientific progress.

2.The Role of Novelty:
- Novelty is vital for advancing the field and is a common criterion for the acceptance of research papers. A lack of novelty often leads to rejection, underscoring its importance in contributing to the body of existing scholarship.

3.Systematic Reviews:
- Systematic reviews are structured approaches to collecting, evaluating, and synthesizing all relevant research on a specific topic. This method provides an unbiased, comprehensive summary of existing evidence and is instrumental in guiding future research.

4.Meta-Analysis:
- Meta-analysis, a statistical method used within systematic reviews, aggregates the results of multiple studies to produce a more precise and reliable estimate of the effect size, thereby enhancing the validity of the conclusions drawn.

5.Evidence Pyramid and Forest Plots:
- The presentation explores the evidence pyramid, highlighting the hierarchical structure of evidence, and demonstrates how forest plots are utilized in meta-analyses to visually represent and analyze combined study results.
