Writing a systematic review is a fundamental step towards a better understanding of the subject, guiding research design and ensuring the relevance and methodological soundness of future research. Indeed, initiating a systematic review before any research work helps to avoid unnecessary duplication, save time and resources, and focus research efforts on as yet unexplored questions. By following rigorous methods, it guarantees robust and reliable conclusions, reinforcing the credibility of future research. In addition, the results of a systematic review help to inform decision-makers, contributing to better decision-making and effective knowledge translation, while clearly justifying new research, making it easier to obtain funding. The webinar will include a short demo on Zotero software
