Matching Review Type to Research Question: Which Review Is Right for You? (Recording)
Researchers can be overwhelmed and confused by the many review types available to them. Learn how to authoritatively guide them to right review for their research questions (e.g., narrative, systematic, rapid, realist, scoping) and how to determine if a question is feasible as a systematic review.
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:
- Identify the differences and similarities of systematic reviews, narrative reviews, scoping reviews, mapping reviews, and realist reviews.
- List steps to determine the feasibility of a research question to be answered by conducting a systematic review
- Describe techniques to get the most out of the initial meetings with clients
- Describe how to frame questions
As a bonus, webinar participants will receive a 30% off coupon for the presenters book published with MLA, Assembling the Pieces of a Systematic Review: A Guide for Librarians.
