Build a Better Lit Review: Introduction to VOSviewer

OPEN TO:
-Faculty -Graduate Students -Postdocs -Staff -Undergraduate Students

Learn what VOSviewer is, how it works, and how you can use it to identify key thinkers and schools of thought in literature.

When thousands of scholars have written on a topic, where do you start? Most researchers understand the overwhelming feeling of conducting a thorough literature review. VOSviewer alleviates the pain of conducting a lit review by letting researchers visualize the relationships between their sources. Who cites whom? Whose sources are similar? 

In this workshop, you’ll learn what VOSviewer is, how it works, and how you can use it to identify key thinkers and schools of thought in literature.

Please bring your own laptop.
