Strategies for Literature Reviews: Going Grey and Supplementary Search Techniques

Are you struggling to start your systematic or scoping review? Want to improve your research process by searching more effectively and efficiently?

Take your research to the next level with a 3-part workshop series, Strategies for Systematic, Scoping, or Other Comprehensive Searches of LiteratureYou are welcome to take one or all three workshops! 
This course may be taken as part of the Graduate Professional Skills Program.

Building on the structured approach shown in Parts 1 and 2 of the series, in this hands-on workshop students will learn to:

  • Identify potential sources for bias in their search and develop strategies to mitigate them

  • Define what is grey literature (and what’s it’s not)

  • Develop a strategy for identifying appropriate sources of grey literature 

  • Utilize a methodological, transparent approach to searching sources of grey literature

  • Demonstrate best practices for supplementary search techniques including hand-searching and reference tracking

  • Integrate strategies for incorporating grey literature and supplementary search techniques into the review workflow

  • Evaluate search methods to identify proper reporting

    This workshop follows a flipped-classroom model, which means there is pre-class work (30 - 40min) that is required to be completed before joining us online for class. The pre-class work will be available in Quercus.
