Tools, techniques and strategies for efficient and effective literature reviews

Tools, techniques and strategies for efficient and effective literature reviews Online

Are you conducting a formal literature review for publication or a grant proposal? Are you looking for ways to stay on top of a rapidly emerging field? Or are you seeking to identify knowledge gaps to explore novel areas of research? Conducting literature reviews and staying on top of the research can feel like a daunting task. This workshop will provide a set of skills and tools to make this process easier and help you feel confident that you have found a thorough and representative body of literature on your topic. We will cover tips and techniques for searching the literature, managing the research papers you find, accessing full text of research quickly, and setting up search alerts for new papers. The workshop is aimed at graduate students, staff and faculty researchers, but anyone is welcome to join. 

This is Part 1 of the Advanced and systematized literature review methods Workshop Series. Join us for one or any of these sessions. Other workshops in this series:
