Held online at 11:00 – 12:00, 13th February 2025
In this webinar, we will explore the difference between a “traditional” literature review and one that draws on systematic methodologies. We will examine what is meant by a “comprehensive” search and how to build a robust search strategy, delve into searching in various databases, and discuss how to manage the screening of our results.
Systematic literature reviews can be used in your doctoral dissertation. They are often commissioned by organisations that need background information to inform a budget decision, policy advocacy or to bid for funding, so it is a useful skill for anyone planning a career as a social science researcher.
This webinar is delivered by Rosey Crow who is Subject librarian for the School of Education and the School for Policy Studies at the University of Bristol.
