Skill School workshop series: Using AI for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses
The Lund Social Science Methods Centre offers six workshops in methods and methodologies from mid-September through mid-October in 2026. These are for teachers, researchers, and doctoral candidates who desire to continue to broaden and deepen their knowledge of research methods.
Below is a short summary and a link to Skill School's webpage where you will find more info and register for this and other Skill School workshops.
Systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses are critical to scanning a field of research to identify research gaps, summarize areas of consensus, and inform practice/public policy. In the past, these evidence syntheses took hundreds of hours of work in searching, compiling, screening, identifying, and coding studies.
In this presentation, we will examine how AI could be used to conduct these evidence synthesis studies more quickly, comprehensively, and efficiently. For example, AI could be used to help craft search strategies, scan abstracts to determine relevance, and conduct a preliminary extraction of relevant data from the studies (e.g., when and where the study was conducted).
