I am a medical student with experience in systematic reviews and meta-analyses, seeking to form a research group to conduct high-quality systematic reviews, initially in psychiatry but potentially expanding to other fields such as cardiology, endocrinology, and pediatrics.

Objectives:

1. To produce relevant systematic reviews and meta-analyses for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
2. To foster collaboration and learning among participants.
3. To find a mentor or tutor with expertise in systematic reviews to guide the group.

What we are looking for:

• Tutor: A researcher or professor with expertise in systematic review methodologies to provide guidance and oversight.
• Collaborators: Medical students, residents, or researchers with interest in contributing to systematic reviews. Experience is a plus but not mandatory.

Benefits for participants:

• Co-authorship in high-impact publications.
• Opportunity to learn and improve skills in systematic review and meta-analysis.
• Networking with peers and mentors in various fields.

Details:

• Projects will follow PRISMA and Cochrane guidelines.
• Timeline and workload will be flexible to accommodate participants' schedules.
• Current interest includes psychiatry-related topics such as artificial intelligence applications, but we are open to other suggestions.

If you are interested in joining as a tutor or collaborator, or if you have questions, please feel free to reach out.

Applicants can be located anywhere, as this task can be done remotely. We are looking for individuals with an interest in systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Time commitment: The task is flexible and can be worked on part-time, depending on each participant’s availability. We will establish deadlines for specific milestones, but there will be no strict daily commitment. Meetings: Regular virtual meetings will be scheduled to discuss progress and next steps. Frequency can be adjusted based on the team’s needs (e.g., weekly or bi-weekly). Preferred qualifications: Prior experience in systematic reviews, meta-analyses, or academic writing is a plus but not mandatory. Enthusiasm for learning and contributing is the most important qualification. Medical, clinical, or related background is welcome but not required. We are especially looking for a mentor with expertise in systematic review methodologies who can guide the team throughout the project.
