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 which meets systematic standards.   

By the end of this workshop, participants will:

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