Description

Working Group 5 (Scientists), which is focused on ensuring efficient researchers’ engagement in outreach and in evolution in particular, developed a systematic literature review which aims to identify the ways in which researchers can be involved in outreach and to enable the development of a set of good practices that improve science and evolution literacy. In this paper, the Systematic Literature Review Protocol Design is presented and its role in enhance of the quality, replicability, reliability, and validity of these reviews is stressed.
