In these sessions we’ll look at how to define a research question and develop a search strategy for effective searches for your clinical psychology research projects. We'll apply our search to APA PsycInfo on the Ovid platform.

There will be time for questions, so please do come along if you need any help or support.

Book your place now!

These sessions are for all Psychology Clinical Practice Doctorate students undertaking a systematic literature review as part of their research proposal, project or thesis.
