Literature review modules for health research

Welcome to our health literature reviews hub 

Designed for graduate researchers and academics, these modules develop skills needed to complete different types of literature reviews for health research.

Each module matches to a specific review step, building towards a complete process. Work through the modules at your own pace. When you complete a module, return to this page to navigate to the next one. Alternatively, work through individual modules as you need.

Note

Literature review processes are iterative. Modules can be completed in any order depending on your own requirements. Some modules end with an optional quiz to evidence your learning, with a digital certificate of achievement.
