Systematic Literature Reviews: the Who, How, What, Why and When
August 16 @ 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm
A systematic literature review is one of many research methods available to academic scholars. It involves identifying and evaluating relevant literature on a selected topic of study.
Unlike a common literature review conducted for projects employing other research approaches, a systematic literature review is an independent research method. It is a reproducible and empirically valid approach to understanding patterns, findings and potential gaps in knowledge.
On Aug. 16, Arizona State University Professor Craig Carter will lead a virtual workshop, part of the CARISCA Training Series, on how to conduct systematic literature reviews.
His presentation will cover the who, how, what, why and when of the topic. Carter will describe a step-by-step approach to the methodology, suggest guidelines and work through an actual example.
This presentation will serve as a foundation for a second training workshop on Aug. 30, on meta-analysis, a subset of systematic literature reviews. At the Aug. 16 training, Carter will suggest guidelines that will help researchers understand how to conduct meta-analyses—a methodologically rigorous, and possible more interesting, literature review.
