Package 3 – Writing a Thematic Review Paper (TR)

Understand the journey of crafting a research proposal, from initial concept to a complete proposal.

Engage in collaborative activities to apply key concepts learned.

Explore the Research FlowZ method and integrate it into your proposal for enhanced clarity and coherence.

Discover effective techniques for structuring and articulating your research proposal.

Get acquainted with Mendeley for streamlined reference management.

Understand the role of ATLAS.ti in conducting a systematic literature review.

Learn to seamlessly transfer your gathered literature from Mendeley to ATLAS.ti.

Explore the LRZ template for structured literature review analysis.

Engage in a collaborative discussion on your research proposal, applying the insights gained.

• Reflect on the combined knowledge from both packages.
• Evaluate your enhanced skills in research proposal writing and systematic literature review.
• This comprehensive workshop, a fusion of Package 1 and Package 2, is designed to equip participants with the skills to formulate effective research proposals and perform in-depth systematic literature reviews. Through engaging modules, hands-on exercises, and expert guidance, participants will leave with a holistic understanding of the research process.
