Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Workshop using R
One-day comprehensive introductory systematic review and meta-analysis workshop enables participants to learn how to conduct methodologically rigorous evidence summaries using R. No prior experience with R required. This workshop dovetails with the GRADEconf, a guideline development workshop using the GRADE approach, or can be utilized as a standalone learning experience for systematic reviews. This symposium is supported by the Evidence Foundation and the U.S. GRADE Network.
