literature reviews reference management researchWe are looking for assistance in conducting a literature review characterizing different programs for youth literacy. The main product will be an article on the review submitted for publication.
We believe this project will include:
- Assist with finding ways to promote literacy in underserved communities within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
- Write an academic manuscript for publication.
- Identify programs that youth can be a part of to improve their literacy skills.
- Research, plan, write, edit, and revise a manuscript
- Use Covidence (for study search) and Zotero (for reference management)
- Meet weekly to complete study
- Any previous experience with literature reviews is considered an asset*
Students will connect directly with the employer for mentorship and supervision throughout the project. There will be a meeting weekly to discuss any questions and next steps.
