Introduction: Librarians play a vital role in knowledge synthesis (KS) research from constructing the search strategies and completing the data collection. Depending on the level of support librarians may be given co-authorship, an acknowledgement, or an in-text mention. While building upon previous work that benchmarks KS output at an institution, this work specifically examines KS at [institution name] wherein our faculty are primary authors and if and how librarians were credited for their work. Methods: We undertook a content analysis of all KS published between 2017-2022 by University of Manitoba authors. We searched affiliation in PubMed and Scopus to retrieve 2,602 records. After screening, we had 696 records. From these records we determined the type of KS (e.g., rapid, scoping), the broad topic area (e.g., medicine, nursing, education) whether the primary authors were UM-affiliated, and the credited role of the librarian (if any).Results: We will calculate the type and number of KS completed during this period, the most popular disciplines, if the project used a librarian and if so, how the librarian was acknowledged. Results will be available in Spring 2023. DISCUSSION: The information gathered in this research will be turned into action in three ways: 1) Advocating to our administration and faculty on the importance of this work with accurate data on the true scope of KS research at our institution; 2) Identifying UM-affiliated authors who are doing KS research without the support of librarians and who may be amendable to outreach 3) Quantifying the level of credit librarians are getting for their KS work.
