(120 mins) Authoring systematic reviews is a tough job. One of the several things to do is to create a very detailed search strategy. It is important to choose the best MeSH terms and text words, use Boolean operators carefully, run the search carefully and document it in such a way that it can be reproduced in the future. It is also important to run and document it in a way that it can be reviewed carefully. This course teaches all these components. Some of the lessons have been covered in Course I and in Course III – (Mastering PubMed), and have been indicated at appropriate points.
