About the systematic review workshop series

In this series, we'll set a foundation for your systematic review. We'll cover developing a strong research question, the importance of a protocol, building a comprehensive search, and guidance as you prepare to publish. We'll provide helpful tips and tricks along the way, and offer our librarian perspective for each step. Use this guide to find information about and the schedule for the series. Attend all sessions, or just the ones that interest you! Can't make it on these dates? We'll offer them again this year. 

Questions? Let us know! 

 

Workshop 1: So you want to do a systematic review 

In this workshop, we will introduce systematic reviews, and outline the different steps required to complete one. We will work on framing a research question and ensuring that no one has previously used a systematic review to answer that question.

Date: January 12, 12-1

Workshop 4: Developing a comprehensive search (part 2)

Developing a comprehensive search means searching far and wide in various databases--not just one! In this workshop, we'll introduce new resources for systematic review searching and practice translating searches from one database to another. Attending part 1 and part 3 are not required, but attending all will enhance your search proficiency. 

Date: February 2, 12-1

Workshop 5: Developing a comprehensive search (part 3)

This workshop will address searching for grey literature, material other than peer reviewed journal articles such as reports, theses, conference proceedings, and policy documents. We'll address what grey literature is, deciding what types of grey literature are appropriate to search given different research questions, and general strategies about how to search it. 

Date: February 9, 12-1

Workshop 6: What happens next? Criteria, screening, and risk of bias.
