Overview
Key facts
Meta-analyses are pivotal in synthesising research across various disciplines, often forming the cornerstone of evidence-based practices. However, many researchers face challenges, particularly in designing statistical analyses to answer impactful questions with the available papers in the literature. On the other hand, you may not realise how much the quality of other steps in this process can limit the impact of your work. To name a few, there is often a lack of knowledge in building a good search strategy, a common waste of time screening a huge number of irrelevant papers for the systematic review, and challenges in conveying the message by critically interpreting the findings with smart scientific communication techniques. This comprehensive online course is designed to equip you with the skills needed to efficiently write impactful systematic review and meta-analysis papers.
