Introduction to Review Articles: Writing Systematic and Narrative Reviews

Session Agenda

Review articles significantly contribute to the progress of science by coherently presenting the existing findings on a research topic. Enago in collaboration with Annual Reviews—a nonprofit scientific publisher dedicated to synthesizing and integrating knowledge for scientific advancement—conducted an informative webinar to address the challenges faced by research scholars in review article publication. Researchers often face challenges to identify good quality, bias-free, and relevant data from the plethora of research-based evidence present in an ever-growing scientific literature database. Review articles adopt a methodical approach to select, critically appraise, and summarize the available research findings to answer a focused scientific question and identify potential research areas.

Through this session, researchers will have a better understanding of the following:

• Overview and significance of review articles in academic publishing
• A comparative analysis of different types of literature reviews
• Tips for writing good systematic and narrative reviews
• Role of meta-analysis
• Guidelines and tools for improved reporting of a systematic review
• Narrative Reviews in summary by Annual Reviews
