Scientific Literature; Searching and Managing, Citations & Impact Factors (Research Master)

 

The focus is not only on how to quickly find scientific articles or best clinical evidence, but also on how to construct a structured and reproducible search strategy for a literature review or meta-analysis. In addition, students will acquire basic skills in citation management and 'CWYW' (Cite While You Write) using Reference Manager software.

Further, students practice finding impact factors and citations of journals, articles and authors, and the value of these parameters of impact are discussed. The course consists of 4 morning workshops (9 a.m. – 12.30 p.m.) concentrated in two weeks. All workshops are a mixture of lectures, demonstrations and hands-on training. During the course, each student will perform a literature search on an epidemiologic research subject and writes a summary completed with a reference list (home assignment).
