Systematic Reviews for the Environmental Sciences
Take your literature review one step further!
Geared toward graduate students in the environmental sciences who wish to conduct a systematic review for a thesis, coursework, or journal publication, this workshop, hosted by the Library, will outline systematic review methods and search strategy development through a combination of presentations and interactive activities.
A ‘systematic review,’ as opposed to a traditional literature review, uses a structured methodology to answer a focused research question. It is transparent, reproducible and involves an exhaustive search of the literature using explicit criteria for study selection.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Understand what a systematic review is and how it differs from a traditional literature review
- Understand the characteristics of a systematic search
- Use strategies to build, organize, and construct a comprehensive search strategy in academic databases
No prior knowledge is required to participate.
