Level Up Your Literature Reviews: Advanced Digital Tools for Emerging Researchers

Tired of drowning in PDFs and losing track of key themes? Transform your literature review process from overwhelming chaos to systematic mastery. This hands-on workshop will equip graduate students and emerging researchers with a powerful digital toolkit that integrates cutting-edge AI with proven qualitative analysis methods.

What You'll Master:

Systematic search strategies using ScopusAI to identify relevant literature efficiently
Qualitative coding techniques in Dedoose to analyze and organize your sources thematically
Strategic citation management using RefWorks or Zotero alongside your Dedoose analysis
AI-enhanced analysis using NotebookLM and chatbots to uncover hidden patterns and generate insights
From chaos to clarity: Transform coded themes into coherent outlines and compelling arguments

Complete Workflow You'll Practice: Starting with search strategy in ScopusAI → importing and coding sources in Dedoose → building your citation library in RefWorks/Zotero → identifying additional themes with AI tools → creating structured outlines → writing with confidence

Why This Approach Works: This systematic method helps you move beyond surface-level summaries to develop the critical analytical skills that distinguish high-quality literature reviews. You'll build rigorous research habits while leveraging AI to enhance (not replace) your scholarly thinking.

Hands-On Learning: Come prepared with your laptop and a research topic – we'll work through real examples and you'll leave with a functioning workflow tailored to your field.

Interactive Q&A: Get specific guidance on discipline-specific challenges, software troubleshooting, and adapting these methods to your unique research context.

Perfect for thesis writers, dissertation researchers, and faculty developing systematic review skills.

Stop reinventing the wheel – start building the literature reviews your field deserves.
