SUMMARY:Your Research Has Greater Reach Than You Realise — Turn That Visibility Into Career and Grant Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Aim: Discover how InCites and Altmetric can help you uncover and showcase the full reach of your research\, from academic influence to societal attention. Learn how to strategically use these insights—together with ORCID and your institutional repository—to strengthen your CV\, funding applications\, and academic visibility.\nDescription:\n\nThis tailored session helps researchers\, clinicians\, and professors explore how to measure and strategically use the full reach of their work. We will introduce both traditional bibliometrics through InCites\, which provide insight into academic impact via citation patterns\, and altmetrics through Altmetric\, which capture broader engagement such as mentions in policy documents\, clinical guidelines\, news\, and social media. Together\, these perspectives offer a more complete view of research influence\, spanning both scholarly and societal impact. Participants will learn how to critically interpret these indicators in line with DORA and apply them to strengthen CVs\, evaluations\, and funding applications. The session is designed to meet the specific needs of participants: together we will not only review the reach of their own publications but also address practical aspects such as optimizing ORCID profiles and ensuring research outputs are properly deposited in the institutional repository. In the first part\, we provide the key foundations and strategies for using these tools effectively. In the second\, highly interactive part\, participants will actively work with their own data\, ask questions\, and refine their professional research visibility. By the end\, attendees will have both a sharper understanding of research metrics and practical steps to improve their academic profile and opportunities. \n  \n\nFormat: Online interactive session\nSpeaker: Greet Wieme\, Knowledge Center for Health Ghent (KCGG)\nOrganiser: Knowledge Centre for Health Ghent (KCGG)\nLanguage: English\nMore info and sign up

SUMMARY:Conducting and Publishing a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis - ENG
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nSystematic reviews are key element of evidence-based healthcare. However\, its explicit and systematic approach distinguishes high quality systematic reviews from traditional reviews and lower quality systematic reviews. The course will teach the different steps to take to perform a high-quality\, methodologically sound and reliable systematic review. The course is filled with workshops\, exercises and personal feedback\, thus preparing the participant to get immediately started with his/her own systematic review. \n\nTopic\nThis course teaches the different steps in performing a high-quality\, methodologically sound and reliable systematic review e.g. protocol development and registration\, literature search\, selection of studies\, data extraction and management\, quality assessment\, data synthesis (including meta-analysis)\, writing and publication. \n\nObjectives of the course\nDuring this course of conducting and publishing a systematic review\, the participant will learn: \n\nhow to develop the topic and refine your research question\nwhich study eligibility criteria might be important for his/her review and how to determine the criteria\nwhich databases are relevant in the domain of life sciences and medicine for his/her review\nhow to search for effective keywords\, how to use mining tools for search term identification\nhow to search for quality filters or search blocks\nhow to build a sensitive search strategy and translate them into other databases in the domain of life sciences and medicine\nwhich sources you need to consider to search for unpublished or “grey” literature\nhow to manage your literature\nhow to create and where to register your protocol\nwhich tools are available to aid different processes of conducting a systematic review e.g. literature search\, study selection and data extraction and management\nhow to choose a quality assessment scale or checklist for quality assessment of included studies and the body of evidence\nhow to perform a meta-analysis\nwhich essential elements need to be reported to increase your changes of publication into a high-impact journal\n\nAdditionally\, the course participants will take the first steps in performing his/her systematic review. \nTeachers\nDr. Nele Pauwels works currently (since 2015) as Information Specialist at the Knowledge Center for Health Ghent in Belgium.
