Citation Analysis: Discovering New Uses Within Systematic Reviews
Description
This training course has already run for 2026. Dates for 2027 will be out at the end of the year.
Are you a researcher or reviewer struggling with the complexity of systematic reviews? Are you confident that your traditional subject searches are truly exhaustive, or do you worry you might be missing critical evidence?
Citation analysis tools have been available for decades and already have a role within systematic reviews. However, with the introduction of new tools and more access to citation indexes, citation analysis may offer new opportunities for assisting with systematic reviews, particularly in reviews of complex questions where searchers may not be confident that their searches are exhaustive. By strategically leveraging citation indexes, you can uncover hidden connections and identify key studies that traditional search methods often miss, especially in rapidly evolving or interdisciplinary fields.
This training course will introduce you to the latest citation analysis tools and innovative techniques. From discovering new research to validating your search strategy, you will learn how to apply these methods to produce a more comprehensive, rigorous, and defensible systematic review.
