Module 1

What and Why of Systematic Reviews

Explore the role of systematic reviews across research fields, including main types such as scoping, intervention, qualitative, and rapid reviews. Understand how your choice depends on research focus, question scope, and intended use, and how standards like PRISMA, Cochrane, and JBI reduce bias, prevent duplication, and promote transparency.

Module 2

Designing the Research Question

A well-formulated question is the foundation of every systematic review. Learn to structure questions that are clear, answerable, and suited to your chosen review type. Understand how scope, feasibility, and time influence framing, and how overly broad or narrow questions affect the usefulness of your results.

Module 3

Planning the Review: Protocol & Criteria

Develop a protocol as your roadmap for the review. Define inclusion and exclusion criteria and make key decisions about scope — covering populations, interventions, outcomes, and timeframes. Learn how protocol registration ensures transparency and how to balance comprehensiveness with available resources.

Module 4

Codebook Design & Conducting the Review

Learn the practical steps of conducting a systematic review, including designing search strategies, managing screening, and creating a codebook for consistent data extraction. Focus on transparent, well-documented decisions that balance thoroughness with feasibility, strengthening reliability and the overall value of your review.
