Evidence synthesis that journals trust.
Systematic reviews sit at the top of the evidence pyramid—and for good reason. They’re
objective, high-impact, and can be done from anywhere in the world.
If you're a medical student, resident, or early-career researcher looking to make a real
contribution to science, this course gives you the tools and guidance to publish a rigorous,
journal-ready systematic review—right from your laptop.
Learn how to frame a researchable question, run reproducible searches, screen studies, assess
bias, and write a clear, high-quality manuscript.
Develop a clear and answerable PICO question, define outcomes and eligibility criteria, and pre-register your protocol.
📌 You’ll learn how to optimise your research question, build a strong analysis plan, and follow best practices for protocol registration (e.g., PROSPERO).
Build reproducible, high-sensitivity search queries across multiple databases. Learn how to remove duplicates and apply transparent dual-screening methods.
📌 You’ll learn to design and document searches, screen studies independently with others, and report using PRISMA 2020.
Use calibrated extraction forms and apply the appropriate risk of bias tools (RoB 2 for RCTs, ROBINS-I for observational studies).
📌 You’ll gain practical skills in reducing reviewer variability and applying structured bias assessment frameworks.
Decide when to perform a meta-analysis or narrative synthesis. Learn to run subgroup and sensitivity analyses that enhance credibility.
📌 You’ll understand how to choose the right synthesis method, interpret heterogeneity, and present results with statistical and clinical clarity.
Develop polished figures and tables (PRISMA flowchart, forest/funnel plots, GRADE SoF). Select the right journal and prepare your full submission package.
📌 You’ll learn how to write clearly and concisely, align with target journal expectations, and communicate strength of evidence.
