systematic reviews

It explained in detail everything you need to know to get started with systematic reviews and gave enough examples.

This is a good introductory course to how and why systematic reviews are performed.

This course opened my eyes to systematic reviews and helped me to understand how to critically read and perform one myself.

Amazing course, definitely learned a lot regarding systematic reviews.

But don't worry, it doesn't interfere a lot without your overall understanding of systematic reviews.Note: it focuses a lot more on systematic review that it does on meta-analysis, which kind of makes sense because meta-analysis is only an optional component of a systematic review, as you'll get to know in this course.
