In this workshop you will be introduced to the principles underpinning the conduct of literature searches for systematic reviews, scoping reviews and evidence syntheses. The session will cover: choosing the most appropriate type of evidence syntheses from systematic reviews to scoping reviews and rapid reviews; formulating a search strategy to address research questions; applying methodological search filters to restrict by study type; choosing appropriate databases and search engines; searching for grey literature and ongoing studies; documenting and reporting your search; and storing and managing references.

Intended audience: students, staff and researchers from MSD and OUH.
