Evidence synthesis is a vital part of evidence-informed decision-making, but high growth in the volume of research evidence over recent decades has made efficient evidence synthesis increasingly challenging. As the appreciation and need for timely and rigorous evidence synthesis continue to grow, so too will the need for tools and frameworks to conduct reviews of expanding evidence bases in an efficient and time-sensitive manner. Efforts to future-proof evidence synthesis through the development of new evidence synthesis technology (ESTech) have so far been isolated across interested individuals or groups, with no concerted effort to collaborate or build communities of practice in technology production. We established the evidence synthesis Hackathon to stimulate collaboration and the production of Free and Open Source Software and frameworks to support evidence synthesis. Here, we introduce a special series of papers on ESTech, and invite the readers of environmental evidence to submit manuscripts introducing and validating novel tools and frameworks. We hope this collection will help to consolidate ESTech development efforts and we encourage readers to join the ESTech revolution. In order to future-proof evidence synthesis against the evidence avalanche, we must support community enthusiasm for ESTech, reduce redundancy in tool design, collaborate and share capacity in tool production, and reduce inequalities in software accessibility.

创建和策划一个实践社区:介绍证据合成黑客马拉松和证据合成技术的特殊系列

证据合成是循证决策的重要组成部分,但近几十年来研究证据量的高速增长使得有效的证据合成越来越具有挑战性。随着对及时和严格的证据合成的欣赏和需求不断增长,对工具和框架的需求也将越来越大,以便以有效和时间敏感的方式对不断扩大的证据基础进行审查。迄今为止,通过开发新的证据合成技术 (ESTech) 来进行面向未来的证据合成的努力在感兴趣的个人或团体中是孤立的,没有齐心协力合作或建立技术生产实践社区。我们建立了证据合成黑客马拉松,以刺激协作和免费和开源软件的生产以及支持证据合成的框架。在这里,我们介绍了一系列关于 ESTech 的特殊论文,并邀请环境证据的读者提交介绍和验证新工具和框架的手稿。我们希望这个集合将有助于巩固 ESTech 的发展努力,我们鼓励读者加入 ESTech 革命。为了应对证据雪崩的未来证据合成,我们必须支持社区对 ESTech 的热情,减少工具设计中的冗余,在工具生产中协作和共享能力,并减少软件可访问性方面的不平等。并邀请环境证据的读者提交介绍和验证新工具和框架的手稿。我们希望这个集合将有助于巩固 ESTech 的发展努力,我们鼓励读者加入 ESTech 革命。为了应对证据雪崩的未来证据合成,我们必须支持社区对 ESTech 的热情,减少工具设计中的冗余,在工具生产中协作和共享能力,并减少软件可访问性方面的不平等。并邀请环境证据的读者提交介绍和验证新工具和框架的手稿。我们希望这个集合将有助于巩固 ESTech 的发展努力,我们鼓励读者加入 ESTech 革命。为了应对证据雪崩的未来证据合成,我们必须支持社区对 ESTech 的热情,减少工具设计中的冗余,在工具生产中协作和共享能力,并减少软件可访问性方面的不平等。
