Beyond the Search II: Data Management for Systematic Reviews Recorded Webinar for Sites
Beyond the Search II: Data Management for Systematic Reviews Recorded Webinar for Sites

While the literature search is likely to be the main responsibility of information professionals involved in systematic review projects, there are other aspects of these projects that would benefit from our input. In this second of two webinars, the presenters will give an overview of resources and strategies for managing the data produced during the systematic review process. Special attention will be given to systematic review software, management of the citation results, the appraisal process, and strategies for overcoming complications and challenges that tend to arise when data are shared inter-departmentally or cross-institutionally.
