Systematic and Scoping Reviews: Systematic Search Methods

Systematic and scoping reviews require a rigorous and reproducible search methodology. This workshop, a combination of presentation and interactive activities, outlines the expectations of a systematic search and provides practical experience in developing a search methodology that meets systematic standards.    

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Understand the characteristics of a “systematic” search
• Use strategies to build, organize and construct a comprehensive search strategy in academic databases
• Take a systematic approach to identify grey literature
• Understand the search documentation process and reporting standards

If you wish to participate in the activities, please have a laptop available.
