Searching and organising literature for PhD candidates
A systematic literature search provides an optimal foundation for your scientific research. By thoroughly searching and assessing the literature, you can pinpoint gaps or unanswered questions that your PhD research can address. A systematic approach also minimises the risk of overlooking key studies. This is essential for formulating a unique and impactful research question. This course also helps you to work efficiently by organising your search references with EndNote.
In this course, you will learn to:
- Select key databases for your research
- Develop a systematic literature search
- Use different search strategies (quick search, following a thread, or advanced search queries)
