Literature review modules for health research
The library has published the first three modules in a series on literature reviews for health research. These modules cover three key areas essential for starting the review process.
Designed for health research students and researchers, the modules aim to impart knowledge and skills for conducting various types of literature reviews, such as systematic, rapid and scoping reviews.
Users can work asynchronously, exploring modules as needed or complete them all at once. Each module ends with an optional quiz, and passing it provides a certificate, offering stronger evidence of learning than merely attending a session or watching a video.
These modules were developed collaboratively by various library teams – including STEMM Scholarly Services Librarians, the Expert Searching and Consulting Lead, the Visual Design Lead, a Learning Designer and a Library Partner – to ensure an evidence-based, holistic and consistent learning experience.
Later this year, we plan to publish additional modules covering the basic steps of conducting any type of literature review.
