Literature review modules for health research
The library has published the first three modules in a series on literature reviews for health research . These modules cover three key areas essential for starting the review process.
Designed for health research students and researchers, the modules aim to impart knowledge and skills for conducting various types of literature reviews, such as systematic, rapid and scoping reviews.
Users can work asynchronously, exploring modules as needed or complete them all at once. Each module ends with an optional quiz, and passing it provides a certificate, offering stronger evidence of learning than merely attending a session or watching a video.
These modules were developed collaboratively by various library teams – including STEMM Scholarly Services Librarians, the Expert Searching and Consulting Lead, the Visual Design Lead, a Learning Designer and a Library Partner – to ensure an evidence-based, holistic and consistent learning experience.
Later this year, we plan to publish additional modules covering the basic steps of conducting any type of literature review.

Critical Questions for a Literature Review
- Who are the key researchers on this topic?
- What has been the focus of the research efforts so far, and what is the current status?
- How have certain studies built on prior studies? Where are the connections? Are there new interpretations of the research?
- Have there been any controversies or debates about the research? Is there a consensus? Are there any contradictions?
- Which areas have been identified as needing further research? Have any pathways been suggested?
- How will your topic uniquely contribute to this body of knowledge?
- Which methodologies have researchers used, and which appear to be the most productive?
- What sources of information or data were identified that might be useful to you?
- How does your topic fit into the larger context of what has already been done?
- How has the research that has already been done help frame your current investigation ?
The Literature Review Process
For comprehensive literature searching, it is important to be systematic in your approach. This includes developing a plan for your search (including the search terms you will use and the resources you will search) and keeping records of the searches you carry out.
