  2. HOW? A collaborative workshop format! This work shop will not address:- • The different syntax used for different search engines (Anne Young) • Concepts concerning bias • The tools needed to appraise the quality of your articles • Key analysis approaches e.g.: narrative and meta analysis These will be covered in forthcoming workshops! This work shop will help you to:- • Refine your research question • Give you feedback on your research question • Give you search-strategy leads • Provide some infrastructure to facilitate a systematic approach • Give practical time-saving tips • Reflect a student’s real learning!

  3. How we are going to divide our time:-

  4. When Scientists must be Linguists Too! • Once you have identified your question concepts you need to think:- • Creatively • Laterally • Methodically • You need not be alone in this! Seek help from:- • Colleagues • Other reviews that have already been written • Frameworks that might be relevant.

  13. Student Example Search Output

  14. Exercise Three: A Game of Musical Graffiti! • You will need a pen and some music – 10 mins. • At different sites around this room, you will find A3 sheets of paper displaying each research question of interest • HOUSE KEEPING FIRST: Please find your individual question and make any changes to it (due to previous discussion), if necessary. • THE GAME: everybody will sight each question and will have approximately one minute to write directly onto the paper any words, phrases, synonyms, collocations that may be useful to include in a search. • You will know your time is up, when the music turns off. Each time the music starts, move to the next question.

  15. Exercise Three: FEEDBACK • What approaches did the graffiti take into account? • What, if anything, surprised you about the output? • How can you use the approach from this session in your own work?

  16. Exercise 4 – Can you replicate the search? • PART 1 (15 mins): In pairs, choose an A3 sheet with a research question. Identify one domain/concept only which you will work on during this session in the following way:- • Use the brainstorming and comments provided in the previous sessions to build-up an appropriate search string • Go into Medline/Ovid and run an initial search using the appropriate syntax (See Anne Young’s Notes) • Record the number of articles identified from this search • PART 2 (15 mins): Swop questions! Repeat the process then compare the number of articles identified from the search. Did you get the same number?

  17. Exercise 4 – Feedback? • Did you get the same number of articles for you output? • Why/Why not? • What approach, if any, helped you to do this task:- • Quickly? • Appropriately? • How confident do you feel now to conduct your own systematic search? • What additional training do you need to support your work?
