How to Write a Systematic Review
“In this webinar, we will provide a step-by-step roadmap for crafting a comprehensive systematic review, from defining your research question to synthesizing and interpreting the findings. Gain a clear understanding of what constitutes a systematic review, its purpose, and its significance in evidence-based research. Learn how systematic reviews differ from other types of literature reviews and the importance of methodological rigor. Learn why developing a detailed protocol is essential for ensuring transparency, reproducibility, and methodological rigor in your systematic review. We will guide you through the key components of a systematic review protocol and provide tips for writing an effective protocol. We will also highlight searching and screening, data extraction, interpretation, and navigating challenges.
Hosted by Jessica Offenberger and Sean Scarisbrick and featuring prestigious guest speakers with a Q&A session, the webinar will provide essential guidance for anyone hoping to get published in an academic journal.”

What is a literature review in the age of AI?
“Join Gary Thomas, author of the newly published ‘How to Do Your Literature Review’ as he addresses these questions – and more – to do with literature review.
Gary will discuss the literature review as part of a wider student research project and as an assessed project in its own right. In particular, he will look at the new AI tools that exist to help with literature review and he will discuss the merits (and demerits) of these tools.
He will go on to look at how human intelligence can structure a review in ways that AI cannot. He will look at various forms of organisation of a review – funnelling, chronological, thematic, comparison-based – that give coherence and integrity to a review and take it to a level that AI cannot achieve. Students can be encouraged to use such forms of organisation in ways that will enable them to rise above the list-like summaries offered by AI.”
