Are you a researcher, academic, or professional engaged in the synthesis and review of scientific literature? This webinar is tailored just for you.

We’ll begin by exploring the foundations of synthesis reviews—defining their importance in research, differentiating between various types, and identifying the key components that make a synthesis review truly impactful. You’ll gain practical insights into formulating research questions, crafting a robust search strategy, setting clear inclusion and exclusion criteria, and managing data effectively with the right tools and software.

But it doesn’t stop there. You’ll learn how to critically assess the quality of synthesis reviews using established appraisal tools, evaluate risk of bias, and ensure the robustness and reproducibility of your methods. We’ll also address the critical issue of research duplication and waste—providing strategies to identify redundant studies and emphasizing the importance of pre-registration to enhance transparency and reduce waste.

This webinar will not only guide you through best practices for developing synthesis reviews but also delve into the peer review process for these articles. Join us for an engaging and interactive session, complete with practical examples and hands-on exercises, designed to sharpen your skills and elevate the quality of your synthesis reviews.
