Systematic Review on PhD Education
Budget: ₹12,500 – ₹37,500 INR
I am preparing a systematic review article that synthesises current education research related to PhD-level study. The topic has been narrowed to PhD education, and I want the final manuscript ready for submission to a peer-reviewed journal.
Scope of work
• Develop and register a clear protocol (PRISMA-P format preferred).
• Design search strings and run comprehensive searches across at least Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, and Google Scholar; grey literature is a plus.
• Screen titles, abstracts, and full texts against agreed inclusion/exclusion criteria, providing a PRISMA flow diagram with counts.
• Extract key data into an organised spreadsheet and assess study quality using an appropriate tool (e.g., JBI or CASP).
• Conduct a narrative synthesis; meta-analysis only if data permit.
• Draft the full systematic review article, including introduction, methods, results, discussion, and references, formatted to journal guidelines.
• Supply all supplementary files: search strategy appendix, quality appraisal tables, and data extraction sheet.
Expectations
Accuracy in following PRISMA guidelines, transparent documentation, and up-to-date referencing are essential. Experience with reference managers (Zotero, EndNote, or Mendeley) and qualitative or mixed-methods synthesis will be highly valued.
Timeline
I’d like an initial protocol within two days and the complete manuscript within 5 days, with room for iterative feedback and refinement.
Deliver a thoroughly researched, well-structured systematic review that advances our understanding of PhD education.
