the Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare, is once again offering a series of ONLINE live interactive workshops on how to do systematic reviews with a focus on how to improve the speed and efficiency of the review process.
The search session will showcase our new and improved version of the Systematic Review Accelerator, so it could be a good opportunity to have a look at our new and improved search tools before we officially launch them later in the year.
The workshops will outline the tasks involved at each of the key steps of the review process and introduce participants to the freely available SRA tools that can be used to complete these tasks more quickly with tips from experienced systematic reviewers and links to key resources provided.
These workshops are for clinicians, students, researchers, policy makers and information professionals who are currently doing or planning to do a systematic review and would like to learn to do them more efficiently.
To benefit from these workshops, you should:
- be conducting or have conducted a systematic review, or
- be intending to do a systematic review AND have a good understanding of what systematic reviews are, how they are done, and what constitutes a good quality systematic review. To help you prepare we will provide background material covering these concepts that you can complete before the workshops.
The series consists of five workshops that cover the key review stages and an additional workshop covering other topics relevant to systematic reviews. Some advanced review concepts may also be covered depending on participants’ requirements. You can attend all the workshops, or just the specific workshops that meet your needs.
Individual Workshops 1 to 5 cost AUD$95 each. We are also offering a FULL package deal which includes Workshops 1 to 5 plus access to Workshop 6 at AUD$400.
