You Really Need a Protocol!

Would you build a house without plans? Would you navigate without a map? Many who start on the arduous and time-consuming task of writing a systematic review or one of the kindred publication types do exactly that! With a thorough, well-designed protocol you have the plan and map you need to be successful in efficiently creating these syntheses of information. This class will cover what you need to know to get off to the right start on your systematic review. This class is for anyone who is already doing a review without a protocol, thinking about doing one, or just curious. There is Q&A at the end to answer all your questions. This class requires no special background to make sense.

LEARNING OUTCOMES - By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Identify common factors across different types of evidence syntheses and their role in systematic and scoping reviews.
2. Utilize available resources to develop a well-structured protocol for a systematic or scoping review.
3. Describe key elements of a systematic review protocol and best practices for writing one.
4. Recognize the iterative nature of protocol development and strategies for managing revisions.
5. Understand the process for finalizing and publishing a protocol to enhance transparency and reproducibility in research.

Please note: This class will be held via Zoom and recorded. You will receive the Zoom link after registering and again an hour before the session.
