Tips for Writing Literature Reviews: Part 2 Online
Join us for the second part of this series on writing literature reviews to learn some tips and tricks for synthesizing information in a literature review or in the introduction or discussion sections of a research article. We will cover different ways of synthesizing information, achieving the appropriate balance of summarization and synthesis, sentence structures for synthesis, strategies for reading papers quickly, and AI tools for facilitating parts of the lit review process. We will use examples from STEM but the tips can be applied to literature reviews in any discipline.
You can register for the first part of this series focused on finding literature for your review here, but you do not need to have attended Part 1 of the series to join this session.
