Developing search strategies for systematic and scoping reviews in health
Are you a health researcher embarking on a systematic or scoping review? This interactive webinar presented by Learning & Research Librarians goes beyond the basics of searching: it gives you a thorough understanding of how to search databases in a transparent, reproducible and systematic manner; using advanced search methods in Medline via Ovid.
This is an interactive webinar; you will have the opportunity to practise searching Medline via Ovid for literature on your own topic. So please bring along:
- your specific research question,
- relevant search terms, and
- 2-3 examples of key papers on your topic.
Learning outcomes:
- Understand the difference between PubMed and Medline
- Be able to use the Advanced Search (ie Search Fields and Search Tools modes) in Medline via Ovid
- Apply advanced search operators and wildcards
- Understand and search controlled vocabulary terms, ie MeSH terms
- Save your searches, set up alerts and export your search results
- Use search filters
- Understand reporting requirements for systematic and scoping review searches
Audience: HDR candidates, ECR, and any health researchers wanting a refresher on systematic searching approaches
