Session theme: Cracking the Code: A Guide to Systematic Literature Reviews
This session breaks down the systematic literature review (SLR) process into clear, manageable steps, helping researchers move from uncertainty to confidence. Participants will learn how to identify the right databases, develop effective search strategies, evaluate sources, and synthesise findings in a structured way.
Whether you are beginning your research journey or refining your review, this session will help you crack the code and approach your literature review with clarity.
Vision:
The aim is to enable doctoral researchers to be confident, successful, and excited about their doctorial journey choices. This space is about being open and having innovative minds come together to learn, share, and network in a safe environment.
Mission:
We are curious minds, that strive for success and recognition. We will be confident through discussion, knowledge sharing, and celebrating success. As per the doctoral researcher’s definition.
Values:
To share information that will help inspire doctoral researchers to thrive in their doctoral journeys. Knowing what matters as a doctoral researcher is key to having a successful research journey.
