These clinics have been set up to help the PenARC Evidence Synthesis Team to manage and respond to systematic review related queries from within the geographical area covered by PenARC. Book directly from our Eventbrite page, or by selecting from the dates listed below.
- Appointments take place remotely, via MS Teams. If you don’t have access to Teams, please contact us at penarc@exeter.ac.uk to discuss alternative options.
- Where possible, appointments will remain bookable until 48 hours before the clinic begins, although we will sometimes need to close the booking system earlier.
- Booking links from this webpage may not always work on a mobile phone. If you encounter this problem, please try booking directly from our Eventbrite page.
- We will normally send you a calendar invite for your booked slot with the meeting link 1-2 days before your appointment. If you are booking well in advance, you may wish to make a note of the time in your calendar yourself in order to avoid any later diary clashes.
Please note:
- These clinics are intended specifically to address systematic review related queries, and appointments are often in high demand, with some people having to wait several weeks to attend. If you are not planning to do a systematic review, waiting for an appointment slot may not be the best use of your time. If you are looking for help with your literature search, please see our Frequently Asked Questions for other sources of help and advice.
- The time of your appointment will be the the half-hour slot(s) you selected when booking. This will be shown on your confirmation email from Eventbrite as the “ticket type”, e.g.” Session 1: 11:30 – 12:00″. The PenARC website and Eventbrite pages display the overall clinic duration, which is likely to be different from your booked appointment time.
- Fair usage policy:
- You may book a maximum of 2 appointment slots per clinic. This restriction is in order to allow us to answer as many requests as possible in the allocated time. Please only book a double appointment if you need advice from both a reviewer and an information specialist.
- If you make an appointment and later find that you can’t attend, please inform us as soon as possible in order to free up the space for others. Alternatively, you may cancel your appointment on Eventbrite if you have an account. We may bar serial non-attenders from booking future clinics.
