A two-hour Webinar
23rd April 2024
Presented by: Dr Marija Cubric
Systematic literature reviews (SLRs) are increasingly becoming a foundation of rigorous scientific research, providing a structured and comprehensive approach to synthesizing existing knowledge in a specific subject area. The SLR methodology comprises systematic planning, literature search across multiple databases, quality assessment, data extraction, analysis, and synthesis of findings. The scope of its application varies from answering very specific research questions to mapping an entire research field. The approach is guided by the requirements to minimize bias, enhance reliability, transparency, and reproducibility, and synthesise findings into actionable insights. The significance of the SLRs lies in its ability to support evidence-based decision-making, policy formulation, and shaping of future research directions.
