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
