Kursusinformation

We recommend that you take this course in the beginning of your PhD.

The course covers these areas:

• Structured literature search – How to apply a structured method to prepare and carry out your search e.g. for a literature review
• Evaluating and organising your search - How to prepare and apply relevant criteria for assessing and documenting the search results. How reference management tools can facilitate the process of organising search results
• Other perspectives on searching – How to use text mining, citation search and other tools to find relevant literature

The course is a “toolbox for research”-course with a mix of presentations and hands-on activities, either individually focusing on your own PhD-project or in small groups with a shared focus. Remember to bring your computer.

Preparation prior to the course: Please read the articles on the reading list (in the folder "Course Documents").
