AB  - Empirical research is foundational to the discipline of forensic psychiatry. Candilis and Parker provide a cogent systematic review of the empirical literature on restoration of competence to stand trial using National Institutes of Health quality metrics. Components of the study methodology are highlighted, as they represent current best practices for conducting a systematic review. A discussion of strategies to increase empirical research uptake in forensic psychiatry is pursued alongside concrete examples of how the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law Research Committee can help facilitate this goal.
