Honours systematic review

PTY4010

Synopsis

This unit guides the development of a 4,000 - 6,000 word systematic review of the literature. It also introduces quality assessment and critical appraisal of research reports included in the review. In doing this it serves the important role of enabling learning about best practice in research design, and the relationship between research design and the trustworthiness of research conclusions. As part of this unit, you will also complete on-line modules that introduce basic concepts in data reporting and analysis. You will have the option to select modules that address the type of data analysis most frequently encountered in the literature you are reviewing. You are also supported with individualised supervision to tailor reviews to the planned research undertaken as part of "Honours Research Proposal PTY4020". Reviews are prepared using a structure that facilitates publication of the work.
