1. Select the
   topic
   Topics are provided below. Note that this is a preliminary list of topics for those
   who want to get started straight away. There may be some additional topics
   added by the end of Week 2 as I am consulting with stakeholders.
2. Do some
   general
   reading
   You should commence your reading about the topic with the appropriate sections
   of your text and perhaps books or other resources available in the library. It is also
   worth starting a general search in the databases
3. Developing a
   search
   strategy
   Once you have an idea about the topic you can start developing a search strategy.
   This includes
    Clarify your question – note, as this is an undergraduate unit, you will not be
   expected to use any particular format (eg no need to use PICO etc)
    Identifying relevant search terms. For example, if your question was: Is social
   phobia/social anxiety disorder is just an extreme form of shyness? Your search
   terms might be “Social Anxiety” or “Social Phobia” and “Shyness” and
   “continuum”. You may need to play around with this.
    Visit http://libguides.murdoch.edu.au/systematic/developing for some more
   ideas on using search terms
    The idea is to introduce you to this process at this level, so we don’t expect
   perfection at this stage!
4. Searching the
   databases
   systematically
    Once you have fleshed out your search
   strategy, then the idea is to apply this to a
   range of databases
    For this review we expect you to use the
   same systematic process with at least the
   following databases (see Database List)
   o PsycINFO (includes PsycArticles)
   o Scopus
   o Web of Science
   o PubMed
   You can of course choose to use more, but we want to make sure you don’t have
   to end up reading 1000 articles!
    Keep good records of the search strategy you are using (eg search terms, how
   many articles you find), so that you can replicate if in future. See
   http://libguides.murdoch.edu.au/systematic/documenting for an example
    Become familiar with the features of the database (eg storing records of
   searches etc to make your job easier)
5. Identify
   relevant
   studies
    You should go through the references and identify relevant articles. Some
   might be background reading (eg opinion pieces, literature reviews) but when
   looking for the evidence you also want to include
    Recently published empirical (ie they collect data) journal articles which you
   must access in full text, not as abstracts.
    DO NOT just select studies that support your view, the range of studies
   identified become the “pool” of evidence that needs to be reviewed
    If there are a lot, you can limit the search parameters to be more specific eg
   o only in the past 5 years; only in a particular population (eg adults not
   children); only in particular conditions (eg depression not psychosis)
    Think about what community resources are not yet available, and perhaps gear
   your search towards that!

6. Review the
   studies
   The pool of studies you have identified as relevant should be read and reviewed,
   so that you are reviewing as much of the evidence available in relation to your
   topic. Some questions to ask yourself in preparing the review include
   o What are the main themes identified in the literature? Are there any trends?
   o Are the results consistent, or are they mixed?
   o What are the gaps? What other research do we still need to do?
   o Others might have already reviewed the evidence and produced a review – in
   this assignment, you can refer to these as well.
   o The idea is to review the literature in a balanced way, supported by evidence to
   answer the question (and indicate how well we can answer it!).

7. Assignment:
   Write your
   Literature
   Review
   This literature review must not be simply descriptive, but rather you must
   demonstrate that you have engaged critically with the academic literature
   pertaining to all aspects of the topic you have chosen to research and you must
   develop coherent arguments informed by the research literature.
    Your essay must be fully referenced using the APA style of referencing.
8. Review other
   community
   resources
    Check the LMS for some examples
    Common sites with examples include: Black Dog Institute; beyondblue; Centre
   for Clinical Interventions
9. Assignment:
   Produce your
   community
   based
   resource
    Similar to the mental health “Fact Sheets” that you are
   likely to be familiar with.
    Max 500 words
    Do NOT use APA style referencing (as it is intended for a lay
   audience), but content should CLEARLY map to the review.
    Size limit is two A4 pages. (A4 poster, an A4 flyer (front and
   back), an A3 poster, an A4 trifold brochure, or a folded A4
   page to produce an A5 folded booklet (and so on).
    Be creative! This resource may be further developed for use in our clinics and
   our research clinics
