If you are a researcher, doctoral student or teacher, you can make an appointment at the library to receive assistance and support in the various parts of your research process. You are welcome to book a session either for yourself or for a big or small group.

You can receive help with the following:

  • information retrieval (selecting keywords, searching in relevant databases, using different search strategies)
  • Search strategies and methodological support for systematic reviews, including conducting search assignments
  • use of databases (saving searches, receiving alerts, saving references)
  • reference management (using reference management software)
  • copyright issues (advice on agreements relating to publishing and open access)
  • strategic choices when publishing (choosing a journal, examining impact factors, producing open access options)
  • support and training in qualitative data analysis - Nvivo
  • screening tools - Covidence och Rayyan
  • data management plans and making research data available
  • ISBN (ordering an ISBN number for your thesis)

We can conduct search assignments for systematic reviews where we develop search strategies for various databases. The search is conducted in collaboration between you as the researcher and a librarian. Please feel free to contact us and share your preferences, and we will discuss the conditions for further collaboration.

Covidence is a useful tool that simplifies the screening process in systematic searches. It facilitates the selection of studies to be included in a literature review. Moreover, Covidence is designed for seamless collaboration with research colleagues, whether they are within or outside the university.
