Mastering Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis: A Career Essential for Researchers

Mastering Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis: A Career Essential for Researchers

In today’s competitive academic environment, publishing in Scopus and ABDC-listed journals is no longer just a goal—it’s a necessity for researchers, PhD scholars, and faculty members. One of the most effective ways to build credibility and enhance publication success is by mastering Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and Meta-Analysis.

Unlike a narrative review, an SLR ensures transparency, replicability, and rigor, making it a preferred method in high-quality journals. Meta-Analysis, on the other hand, brings together findings from multiple studies, offering more reliable conclusions and paving the way for future research. Together, these methods can strengthen your thesis, improve your chances of publication, and elevate your research career.

To address this crucial skill gap, ServiceSetu is hosting a 3-Day Online Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on “Mastering Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis” from 3rd to 5th November 2025.

Why This FDP Matters for Your Career

🔹 Enhance Research Skills: Learn to distinguish between systematic, narrative, scoping, and bibliometric reviews.

🔹 Boost Publications: Acquire tools like PRISMA flow diagrams and TCCM framework that journals expect.

🔹 Hands-On Practice: Work with Meta-Essentials for effect sizes, heterogeneity, and forest plots.

🔹 Future-Proof Your Profile: Equip yourself with skills that strengthen applications for postdocs, faculty roles, and grants.
