Write It Before You Review It: Systematic Review Protocol Workshop

Ready to Start a Systematic Review? Start with a Solid Protocol.

A well-developed protocol is essential to producing a transparent, reproducible, and high-quality systematic review. In this practical workshop, you'll learn the key elements of protocol development—like defining your research question, setting inclusion/exclusion criteria, choosing databases, and outlining your methods. Stay for the hands-on portion where you’ll be able to apply best practices and standards (such as PRISMA-P), and begin drafting your own protocol with assistance from a librarian.

Whether you're planning a review for publication, a thesis, or a grant proposal, this workshop will help you lay the groundwork for a high-quality, well-organized review. Perfect for graduate students, faculty, and researchers in the early stages of a systematic review.
