Knowledge Synthesis Foundations: Advanced Search Strategies Online
This two-part series will provide graduate students in the sciences with the tools to navigate the complex process of knowledge synthesis. Knowledge synthesis, also known as evidence synthesis, is an umbrella term for literature reviews that use transparent and reproducible methods to gather and synthesize research studies in order to answer a research question. Systematic and scoping reviews are common types of knowledge synthesis.
The sessions will offer a roadmap for choosing review types and executing transparent and reproducible searches. The content is designed to be particularly helpful for researchers working within veterinary science or applied human science contexts. While it is recommended that learners attend both workshops, learners may register for the full series or a single workshop based on their needs.
Workshop 2) Advanced Search Strategies for Knowledge Synthesis
The second workshop will focus on how to build complex search strings and how to translate them effectively across multiple databases, specifically Ovid Medline and CINAHL. Learners will leave the workshop with an understanding of advanced search strategies that are required to maintain transparency and reproducibility in their project.
