Systematic and Scoping Reviews: Systematic Search Methods Online
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 be able to:
• Understand the characteristics of a “systematic” search
• Use strategies to build, organize and construct a comprehensive search strategy in academic databases
• Take a systematic approach to identify grey literature
• Understand the search documentation process and reporting standards
Must be a Waterloo student, staff or faculty member to attend. If you wish to participate in the activities, please have a laptop available.
