This course will provide an overview of evidence synthesis and positioning of systematic review methodology, including philosophical perspectives and the use of systematic reviews to inform policy and practice. During the course students will develop appropriate research aims and questions for systematic reviews. Key methods and sources for systematic searches of published and unpublished material, and appropriate tools for data extraction will be covered. Students will develop knowledge into different perspectives concerning quality appraisal and frameworks for assessing quantitative and qualitative studies. The course will also cover how to analyse and synthesise quantitative (e.g., meta analysis) and/or qualitative (e.g., meta synthesis) data and how to evaluate systematic review findings using GRADE and CERQual. At the end of the course students will be expected to present a systematic review protocol, relevant to their own PhD/research projects.
Eligible students are those who fulfil the general requirements for PhD studies. Students must be familiar with the basics of qualitative and quantitative research before joining the course.
