Extra course: 22-SLR Systematic Literature Review

This Spring we will organise a new course on Systematic Literature Review.

This course is designed to train PhD candidates in conducting a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) as a rigorous and transparent form of review. A SLR identifies, selects, and critically appraises research in order to answer a clearly formulated question. SLRs adhere to a strict scientific design based on a detailed, transparent, and replicable method of collecting, appraising, and synthesizing evidence to answer a well-defined question. SLRs can also help identify research gaps in the current understanding of a particular field and thus can be used to guide future research. With acquiring the knowledge and skills of SLRs, PhD candidates would be able to refine their knowledge on the subject area of interest, develop new research ideas, and gain critical skills to synthesize existing literature. This course aims to help participants understand the key components of a SLR and acquire the key skills needed to carry out their own reviews. The course combines student-centered sessions with project work wherein students will be encouraged to conduct a SLR and write a draft paper on a topic of their choice.
