Description
Literature review is one of the pillars on which your research idea stands since it provides context, relevance, and background to the research problem you are exploring. Yet, many researchers struggle when it comes to writing a literature review for their research paper. A thorough understanding of your area of research is vital, and this is where a comprehensive literature review comes in to understand what has and has not been done in your research field.
This program is structured to help you identify fresh ideas for your research through a well-rounded literature review. It will also help you learn how to utilize and customize PubMed, one of the most preferred sources for scholarly articles, to suit your research topic. The course will also outline the various study designs available and uncover the many secrets of selecting the best design for your own study.
