Introduction to Types of Literature Reviews

Did you know that there are multiple methodologies to create literature reviews, with different aims, goals, protocols, and outcomes? Attend this workshop to learn about the range of evidence synthesis (literature review) methodologies, from a traditional narrative review to rigorous reviews such as systematic reviews and umbrella reviews. We will discuss 12 types of reviews, identify the similarities and differences between them and provide insight into how to select the review type that is best suited for your project.
