SUMMARY:The Evidence Review Accelerator (TERA) – Helpful Tools and Tips for Information Specialists
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will show participants how to use the Evidence Review Accelerator (TERA) to improve the speed and quality of conducting systematic reviews. This workshop will cover all tools\, but will focus on the tools most helpful for information specialists. The workshop will comprise live demonstrations of TERA\, conducted by Justin Clark\, developer of TERA\, the Two-Week Systematic Review (2weekSR) methodology and experienced Information Specialist. The expert skills of the presenter in both conducting reviews and using the tools are a key component of the workshop. \nAll the tools in the workshop are free and available via TERA: https://tera-tools.com/ \nThe workshop will comprise the following plan: \n\nBrief introduction to TERA.\nDemonstration of creating focused searches using the Word Frequency Analyser\, SearchRefiner\, Polyglot Search Translator and the Deduplicator.\nDemonstration of Generative AI-powered screening using MechaScreener.\nDemonstration of citation searching with SpiderCite.\nUsing TERA Farmer to identify any further relevant studies missed by the database and citation search.\n\nRegister here to attend.

SUMMARY:Librarians Supporting Literature Reviews with Covidence
DESCRIPTION:Literature reviews and evidence synthesis are more than search strategies and screening workflows. They are collaborative and evolving partnerships between librarians and research teams. \nJoin us for a discussion with experienced librarians as they share stories from the field: how they got started in evidence synthesis\, lessons learned from challenging review teams\, how they navigate authorship and expectations\, and how their roles are evolving. \nIf you are a librarian supporting researchers on their evidence synthesis journey\, please join us for this informal yet insightful discussion which will explore what really happens behind the scenes of systematic reviews across disciplines\, methodologies\, and team dynamics. Whether you’re new to supporting reviews or looking to refine your approach\, you’ll walk away with practical insights and real-world perspective. \nIf you can’t attend the live session\, register anyway and you will receive a recording 48 hrs after the session. \nhttps://events.zoom.us/ev/AmUZZRAwdr1rz_iuLZog2955lxhNN560w0Yhh5t7WttIu-DOXgy6~AkrqEesdwetCSy4wCsHz331FZiQwVOvRi7_NGWdkykR0wSWXpq7dnuj-XA?lmt=1775050166000&utm_source=email
