The differential factor of this systematic review (SR) and meta-analysis (MA) course is its practical approach. You may have faced thousands of theoretical lectures about this topic, but no one never told you how it actually works! Many researchers still believe that the statistical analysis of the Meta-Analysis is the challenge of the this paper. Therefore, I will show you what exactly you need to learn to write a very efficient and impactful SR and MA paper, within the course timeline. I will guide you step-by-step from the conception of your research question, up until the preparation of your dissertation/ thesis manuscript. Maybe you will publish this to a scientific journal! Meta-Analysis is currently widely used in all different areas of evidence-based practice and to bring consensus in the clinical medical field.
