Product Description

Overview

The Systematic Literature Review Masterclass is a premium, research-focused online training program designed to help academics, postgraduate students, and professionals master the complete process of conducting evidence-based systematic reviews.

Developed and led by internationally recognised experts Prof. Beatrice Opeolu, Prof. Gabriel Dedeke, and Dr. Florence Dedeke, this course provides end‑to‑end guidance — from conceptualising a research question and designing a review protocol to conducting literature searches, data synthesis, and writing for publication.

The masterclass blends rigorous academic frameworks (PRISMA, PICO/PECO/PEO, GRADE) with hands‑on practical application using industry‑standard tools such as Mendeley, Covidence, Rayyan, RevMan, and NVivo.
It is an indispensable course for anyone aiming to produce a high‑quality, replicable, and publishable systematic review.
