Systematic Reviews for the Environmental Sciences    

Date: Wednesday October 9 

Time: 1 - 3 p.m.  

Location: Teams 

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  

If you have accommodation requests or questions, please reach out to Agnes Zientarska-Kayko (azientar@uwaterloo.ca) with your needs.
