Workshop Synopsis:-

Writing systematic review articles allows academicians to produce high-quality publications without the need for extensive funding, making it an ideal strategy when research grants are scarce. Systematic reviews leverage existing data to generate new insights, identify research gaps, and provide a foundation for future studies. This approach not only enhances academic productivity but also establishes researchers as experts in their fields. By synthesizing and critically analyzing published evidence, academicians can contribute to impactful scientific literature while maintaining a steady flow of publications, boosting their academic profiles and institutional research metrics. This workshop will equip faculty members with the skills to prepare systematic and umbrella reviews using the in-house-developed Meta-IMU application for conducting meta-analyses. Additionally, it offers an opportunity to foster interdisciplinary collaboration by encouraging faculty members to work together on systematic reviews.

Workshop Objective:-

The objective of this workshop is to:

1. To train faculty in conducting systematic review and umbrella review using the Meta-IMU application.

2. To foster interdisciplinary collaboration between faculty by conducting systematic review together.

Workshop Learning Outcomes:-

After this workshop, the participants will be able to:

1. Conduct standard systematic review and umbrella review.
2. Perform systematic review, umbrella review and meta-analysis with Meta-IMU application.
