Registration is required. Our Graduate Writing Communities are offered at two times. Register for our:

-Tuesdays 2PM - 4PM series here or

Are All Systematic Reviews Created Equal? - 1:00pm

This recorded webinar from the Medical Library Association is aimed at librarians but may be of interest to other researchers working with systematic reviews.

The number of published systematic reviews has increased dramatically over the last fifteen years. Are they all good? Like any other study, a systematic review needs to be read with a critical eye. There are specific criteria for critically appraising a published systematic review. Understanding these criteria and applying them to a systematic review will give you more confidence in the conclusions you draw from a review.

Join Connie Schardt, AHIP, FMLA as she explains how to critically appraise a systematic review and the tools needed for the task.

Location:
Woodward Library, Sherrington Room.
