Initiated by the Education department and the Scientific Research and Development Department at East European University (EEU), a new training series is being launched for undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral students.
The aim of the training series is to support the development of students’ research skills.
The first phase of the series begins with a comprehensive and flexible course titled “Strategies for Searching and Analyzing Academic Literature.”
Course Topics / Program:
- Techniques for searching literature in international academic databases
- Assessing the reliability of sources and strategies for processing academic literature
