Systematic Literature Review (SLR) & PRISMA 2020 Hands-on Workshop
Execute gold-standard systematic reviews ready for high-impact journals. NextGen Knowledge Hub (NextGen KH) provides practical, step-by-step guidance on PRISMA 2020 guidelines, formulating PICO/CIMO research questions, constructing multi-database search strings, blinded screening using Rayyan, quality risk-of-bias assessment, and narrative evidence synthesis.
What You Will Learn in SLR Training
A complete journey from protocol registration to publication in top indexed journals.
Protocol Design & PROSPERO / OSF Registration
Formulating research questions using PICO/PCC/SPIDER frameworks, preparing a rigorous review protocol, and registering on PROSPERO, OSF, or Cochrane registries.
Advanced Multi-Database Search Strategies
Building complex search queries using MeSH terms, Boolean operators, wildcards, and proximity operators across Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, IEEE Xplore, and grey literature.
Screening with Rayyan & Deduplication
Exporting RIS/BibTeX files, automated deduplication, setting up blind screening teams in Rayyan, resolving inclusion/exclusion conflicts, and generating PRISMA flow data.
Critical Appraisal & Risk-of-Bias Assessment
Evaluating methodological quality using Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB 2.0), ROBINS-I, CASP checklists, Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS), and JBI critical appraisal instruments.
Data Extraction & Narrative Synthesis
Designing standardized data charting forms, qualitative thematic synthesis, subgroup analyses, summary of findings (SoF) tables, and GRADE approach for certainty of evidence.
Introduction to Quantitative Meta-Analysis
Understanding effect sizes (Odds Ratio, Risk Ratio, Hedges' g), fixed vs random effects models, interpreting forest plots and funnel plots for publication bias in RevMan.
