Performing and publishing a systematic review is a time- and labor-intensive process. However, the journey can be made easier if the right tools are used from the start to for example search and manage references, and document the process. DistillerSR systematic review software facilitates the screening, data extraction and reporting processes of your systematic review. This tool is virtually comprehensive, though not free. (The knowledge centre has a license. A project can be started for you upon payment of a fee). Other tools – which are free – cover only part of the process. The difference between RevMan Web and RevMan desktop will also be explained.

During this introductory session the pros and cons of these tools as well as the cost will be discussed.

Format: 1h online interactive session

Target group: This session is targeted toward researchers, but is open to all interested people.  

Objectives:

• Thanks to this introduction session you will learn the pros and cons of a tool in order to make an informed choice for your own project.
• The tools are briefly demonstrated so that you have a first impression of the tool. For a more extensive training in which the use of a particular tool is taught, please refer to the other workshops of the knowledge centre.
