Biological Sciences: Developing your literature review - finding the literature
This session equips participants with all the fundamental skills that they need to build and execute effective search strategies to locate relevant materials for literature reviews, projects and other related research activities. The session will explore key searching techniques, where to search, how to troubleshoot common searching problems, as well as keeping up to date with the latest research.
This session will include live demonstrations of scientific databases to demonstrate the key principles covered in action.
Postgraduates, researchers and other interested professional services staff (e.g. technicians) based in the School of Biological Sciences departments and institutions.
