Practical: Information Literacy: Literature Search and EndNote

Full course description

A systematic and well-documented literature search underlies the foundation of all academic reviews. In this practical, students learn how to excecute and report their search strategy according to international reporting standards (e.g. PRISMA). In addition, students are introduced to several reference manager tools that allow them to collect, organise and cite references. Though there are many tools for managing references, the UM has selected EndNote as the only licensed and supported tool. As such, in this practical students will focus on learning how to import, organise and cite references using EndNote.
