Course description
Systematic literature reviews are important for summarizing preceding scientific knowledge and experiences, and for identifying potential knowledge gaps. The course provides the possibility to perform a systematic literature review that could be part of a PhD-thesis. The course participant starts from the protocol, written in course 5555, and based on the participant’s own dissertation work. The course will focus on the critical assessment and discussion of the weaknesses and strengths in the included studies, the data extraction and what the main results mean for the subject. During the course, the teaching platform Canvas is used - hybrid teaching. Peer learning. You will also get personal guidance with your specific SR from the teachers. As examination assignment, the students are asked to read and discus their course participants’ drafts of the systematic reviews
