Chemicals 101 directly markets products to research laboratories domestically and internationally. Prospects are found by an intense literature review to find prospects in our field of research. Among these papers are systematic reviews of relevant literature, which analyze the progression of research work within the field.

We would like to collaborate with students to support our literature review process by identifying relevant papers and documenting their basic information.

Tasks include:

• Familiarizing themselves with the inclusion / exclusion criteria to determine which studies are relevant.
• Searching for relevant studies in databases using keywords and documenting the process.
• Screening the titles and abstracts of papers to determine their relevance to our project.
• Documenting relevant papers that can be included in our literature review, including information such as authors, their contact information and date of publication.
• Reading the full texts of relevant papers and summarizing their results.

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

• Understanding of the inclusion / exclusion criteria
• Identification of potentially relevant studies from keyword searches
• Application of the inclusion / exclusion criteria to identify relevant studies
• Documentation of the process and relevant papers identified

Bonus steps would include:

• Extracting relevant results from papers

Final deliverables should include

• A final report and a database of the results.

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

• Our research projects
• Current understanding of our field of research
• Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
