SHS Masters & PhDs: Performing a scoping search to validate your proposed research question

Aimed at those who have decided on a research question but have yet to create a research protocol. A scoping search is needed to check a systematic review has not already been performed on the question you are proposing (if you are following that path) and to test the depth of research available.

In this session we will be demonstrating a number of resources which can be used for this purpose.

Contents:

  • PROSPERO
  • The Cochrane Library
  • NICE Evidence Search
  • Turning Research Into Practice (TRIP)
  • Databases in EBSCOhost & Ovid Online
