Guiding researchers establish the state of existing knowledge through the appraisal and synthesis of research evidence, systematic reviews stand as a cornerstone of evidence-based scholarship. Systematic reviews involves explicit data collection, careful evaluation and scientific examination of often related but separate research studies. A rigorous and multifaceted endeavor that demands meticulous planning, diligent execution, and transparent reporting, how can one design and publish a well-structured systematic review that advances scientific knowledge and address critical needs across various fields?

Developing the research capabilities of every researcher through skills development, the Asian Society of Teachers for Research, Inc. hosts the Webinar on Designing Review Papers for High-Impact Publications on September 4-6, 2025 (8:30 am-12:00 nn Philippine Standard Time, daily) with our resource speaker Dr. Andrea B. Martinez of the University of the Philippines Manila. Currently, Dr. Martinez is also a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow of the School of Psychology, University of Surrey, England as well as a Global Data Fellow of the Global Child Safety Institute, University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

OBJECTIVES OF THE WEBINAR:
