CANCELLED - Systematic Review Workshop Series - Part 3: Advanced Searching

NEW! Obtain Co-Curricular Record for participating in this 6-part series!

Are you considering starting a systematic, scoping, or rapid review but don’t know how to get started? Attend our 6-part series that gets into the nitty-gritty of comprehensive searching. These sessions will be hands-on and focus on the actual skills needed to complete the documenting, searching, translation, deduplication, and screening process of a systematic, scoping, rapid, or other large-scale comprehensive review. Participants will gain a solid understanding of what is needed to complete a systematic review and why they are an essential part of evidence-based practice.

Part 3: Advanced Searching
 This session will introduce participants to the advanced searching skills needed to create a systematic review. Topics to be covered include concept building, subject terms and keywords (and why you need to use both), database shortcuts, and syntax. Tips on making the most of OVID for advanced searching will also be included. A sample search will be provided for the class to work through together.

By the end of the session participants will be able to:
- Turn a resesarch question into a searchable topic using a structured concept based approach
- Explore the differences between controlled vocabulary and keywords
- Practice using the above techniques to build an advanced search

Note: Participants who attend all sessions are eligible to receive Co-Curricular Record
