This week, you will be introduced to the process underlying literature reviews. You will learn about different types of literature reviews, explore various publication database platforms, and begin using Zotero and Covidence for managing your research.
1. Introduction to Literature Reviews
Tasks:
-
Read this article that outlines the literature review process: SLR-1.pdf
-
Research different types of literature reviews. Which type would be most appropriate for our research on Neuroarchitecture based on your initial literature search?
-
Develop search terms related to the review we want to conduct on Neuroarchitecture.
2. Publication Database Platforms
Available Search Engines:
Note: Dr. Kastner can help determine which platforms you have access to via GT.
Tasks:
- Identify which platforms are most relevant for our research question based on the topics they cover.
- Describe the types of studies/information that each of these platforms covers.
- Conduct an initial search for literature related to Neuroarchitecture using these platforms.
3. Reference Management with Zotero
Task:
- Add any relevant papers you find during your initial search to Zotero.
4. Introduction to Covidence
Covidence is the platform we will use for conducting the literature review. You should have received an invite with access to Covidence. Please check your emails.
