Literature Searching
Literature searching is a core skill for effective systematic reviews. UNCOVER volunteers based at the University of Edinburgh can access online training resources here.
For all UNCOVER volunteers based at the University of Edinburgh, we recommend an excellent online self-study resource on Literature Searching, created by UNCOVER's own Marshall Dozier. To access it:
