Yes. This course is designed to help you learn about systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and take your research project from an idea to publication, even if you don’t have a good background in systematic reviews.
The purpose of this course is to give you the skills necessary to conduct systematic reviews and publish research articles. During the course, we will work with students who have ideas for systematic reviews and guide them as part of students’ examples. However, we do not sponsor any publications as part of this course, nor can we guarantee that your work will be published in a journal.
This topic is covered in depth in a separate product How to find Research Positions in the US consisting of live and interactive sessions + immediate access to the recordings of the previous sessions, you can sign up for that here.
