Learn to craft systematic reviews during a four-part training series in October from UAB Libraries’ Clinical, Academic and Research Engagement team; each session is available at no cost to faculty, staff and student researchers.
Systematic reviews are a type of literature review that involve a detailed and comprehensive plan and search strategy with the goal of reducing bias by identifying, appraising and synthesizing all relevant studies on a particular topic.
In addition to the October workshop series, UAB Libraries offers comprehensive systematic review services to faculty, residents, fellows, staff and graduate students. Both “Consultation” and “Collaboration” service levels are provided; read more online.
All workshops are virtual and take place noon-1 p.m.
