Conducting a Systematic Review of Literature

Description

Conducting a systematic review of the literature

 What are the objectives of a literature review? How to make my review ‘systematic’? What is the difference with a ‘meta-analysis’? How to proceed, concretely? What are the strengths and weaknesses of a systematic review? How to articulate the results of my review with my research? May I publish my systematic review in a scientific journal, and how?

The seminar addresses these questions by presenting PRISMA, an approach for reporting systematic literature reviews. The seminar will be illustrated with concrete applications from the political and social sciences.

In doing so, Stéphane Moyson focuses on technical and/or economic policy sectors such as railways or energy. In the second research programme, he is interested in official-citizen interactions in the judicial sector (http://www.uclouvain.be/stephane.moyson).
