Webinar: From Protocol To Publication: Maximizing the Return on Your Systematic Review Investment
Topic: From Protocol To Publication: Maximizing the Return on Your Systematic Review Investment
When: Tuesday, January 29 1:00 p.m.–2:30 p.m. central time
Are your hours of search time translating into published systematic reviews. . . or into projects that disappear in the void? Are you getting more systematic review requests than you can handle? Are you planning to start a systematic review service and want to plan for success?
An Informationist, a Project Manager, and a Methodologist/Clinician very experienced with systematic reviews share their strategies for identifying promising projects, avoiding problems before they scuttle a project, and working with review teams to conduct successful–and published!–systematic reviews.
Audience: Health Sciences Librarians at academic and research institutions and hospitals with knowledge of systematic reviews.
