We have a new and exciting course we'd like to share with you -  Systematic Approaches to Searching for Evidence

OverviewThis highly interactive one-day course will cover the key principles of identifying published and unpublished evidence in a systematic, transparent way.

We will look at turning a research idea into a viable, structured search; scoping; choosing sources; developing effective strategies and documenting your searches, so they can be reproduced.
The course will draw on ScHARR’s 25 years of experience at the cutting edge of evidence synthesis, in addition to highlighting the latest available search tools and emerging techniques from the relevant method literature.

Who will benefit from this course? Anyone with an interest in conducting or supporting systematic reviews or similar evidence synthesis projects, especially:
• Early career researchers
• Postgraduate students
• Librarians and Information Specialists
Early bird booking for this course will close 1st May 2020

Standard booking will close 17th June 2020
