You may save and print a copy for your own learning. Redistribution, resale, public upload, classroom distribution, or inclusion in another commercial product is not permitted under the personal licence.
Does the course include meta-analysis?
It explains when meta-analysis may be appropriate, but advanced statistical meta-analysis requires additional methods and software training.
Can I use PRISMA for every literature review?
No. PRISMA is designed for particular evidence-synthesis reporting purposes. The review type and institutional requirements should determine its use.
