Dear All We are running the above online advanced searching course, relevant to searching for studies for systematic reviews and other evidence syntheses, on 28 and 30 Nov 2023 from 1500 to 1800 (GMT). Please see link below for full details. Identifying Unpublished Clinical Trial Data for Evidence Syntheses with Carol Lefebvre & Julie Glanville | Instats<https://instats.org/seminar/identifying-unpublished-clinical-trial-d2> Please note that the timing has been set to optimize live online attendance for those in the Americas, Europe, Africa and western Asia. This workshop provides an overview of identifying clinical trials and trial results for systematic reviews and other evidence syntheses. It covers sources such as trials / trials results registers, regulatory agency sources, and other novel resources. Participants will learn how to search the above sources, how to manage search results and report their searches. For this course, we are partnering with Instats, an organization that provides training and expert support / consultancy, as well as open access to research networks, forums, and job opportunities. An official Instats certificate of completion and 2 ECTS Equivalent points are provided at the conclusion of the course (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS)<https://education.ec.europa.eu/education-levels/higher-education/inclusive-and-connected-higher-education/european-credit-transfer-and-accumulation-system>). The fee is 184 GBP, 211 EUR, 225 USD, 330 AUD or 1,636 CNY. There are reductions on the above prices for students and also for those who are based at partner institutions to Instats - see link above. Course presenters: Julie Glanville, Independent Consultant in Information Retrieval, Glanville.Info Carol Lefebvre, Independent Information Consultant, Lefebvre Associates Ltd. For further details, and to register, please see the course description information below and online at the link above. The above course has limited delegate places available to ensure that the session permits discussion and interaction within the group. A recording and materials (including slides) will be available online, to those registered for the course, for 30 days after the course, in case you would prefer to attend asynchronously, or you would like to go back and revisit the course content after it concludes. Additionally, the course will be made available, at a slightly reduced rate, at a later date, as a 'recording only' option. More on that to follow after the course. Please feel free to contact us for further details about this course, or to discuss tailor-made options for your workplace. Course Description: Information from clinical trials registers, including unpublished data, is essential for answering many research questions in systematic reviews, health technology assessments, and comparative effectiveness research. Clinical trials registers such as ClinicalTrials.gov and portals such as the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) provide information on both ongoing and completed trials. Many registers include trial results for completed research, often before they are available through traditional published sources. In many cases, they provide results for studies which are never published in traditional sources or which are only published as grey literature in the form of reports or other documents. Increasing awareness of the importance of clinical trials and their results has led to the development of a large number of trials registers. Trials registers are in constant development and provide challenges to information professionals and researchers in terms of searching and record management. Data on trials are also increasingly available from clinical study reports produced by the pharmaceutical industry in support of drug marketing applications and regulatory agency sources such as Canada Heath, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These sources all present challenges in terms of searching, data management, search recording and updating. This online course explores these sources and approaches to identifying trial information and offers practical advice on searching, managing and recording the process.
