Online Systematic Reviews for the Environmental Sciences

Take your literature review one step further!

Geared towards graduate students in the environmental sciences who wish to conduct a systematic review for either a thesis, coursework or journal publication, this workshop will outline systematic review methods and search strategy development through a combination of presentation 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:

• Understand what a systematic review is and how it differs from a traditional literature review
• Understand the characteristics of a systematic search
• Learn strategies to build, organize and construct a comprehensive search strategy in academic databases
