Systematic literature search
The library offers professional support to researchers and fellows who are conducting systematic literature searches. We have solid expertise and extensive experience with literature searches, and can assist with both advice and assessment of search strategies. The library also holds courses in literature searching for fellows and academic staff. See the course calendar for an overview of upcoming courses.
What are systematic literature searches?
A systematic literature search is a structured method for finding, evaluating, and compiling relevant research on a specific topic. The goal is a thorough, transparent, and verifiable search. This involves defining clear search criteria, using multiple databases, documenting the search process, and assessing the quality and relevance of the findings.
The method is often used in connection with research projects, knowledge summaries, and evidence-based practice.
