Systematic and Scoping Review Series: Systematic Search Methods

Date: Tuesday November 5, 2024

Time: 1 - 3 p.m.

Location: Davis Centre Library, room 1568

Facilitator: Jackie Stapleton, liaison librarian

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

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

This in-person workshop has limited capacity; please register to reserve your seat. If you have accommodation requests or questions, reach out to Jackie Stapleton, (jstapleton@uwaterloo.ca) with your needs.
