Course Description
This course provides a practical and academically grounded introduction to writing and publishing Narrative Review articles. It is designed for beginners and early-career learners who want to understand how to identify a suitable review topic, search and organize relevant literature, synthesize evidence into meaningful themes, and develop a clear and publishable narrative review manuscript.
The course follows a practical, step-by-step approach in which learners progressively develop a real narrative review manuscript. It also introduces the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) to support topic development, keyword generation, literature organization, outlining, drafting, and editing. AI is used as a support tool rather than a replacement for academic judgment, critical thinking, literature reading, synthesis, or proper citation.
