Root number 402776
Semester HS2022
Type of course Seminar
Allocation to subject Ecology and Evolution
Type of exam not defined
Title Literature analysis and management, seminar
Description Registration deadline 23. September in ILIAS.

Mandatory for BSc 3rd year Ecology and Evolution. Master students or students from the 1st and 2nd year interested to participate in this course must get in touch with the course organisers prior to the registration deadline.

The course starts in semester week 3 and runs from 13:15-15:00 on Fridays (teachers: Barbara Taborsky & Carlos Melian). In week 3 students will learn how to find scientific literature, manage the corresponding references in Mendeley and will be given an introduction to literature analysis (presence of ALL students required in week 3). In week 3 we will also divide the students in two blocks (Block 1: weeks 4-8, Block 2: weeks 9-14) to attain a smaller group size. In blocks 1 and 2, we discuss the goal, methods, results, implications and the quality of selected papers published in leading journals in ecology, behaviour and evolution. The course also teaches and practices some scientific writing skills. Each course day, two students summarize the main points of two papers, then all participants discuss about their content and open questions, and evaluate the scientific content, the experimental design, data analysis and quality of writing of each paper.
