IDESR

We’ve just uploaded a big update to the records of published systematic reviews on IDESR.org. The site now has bibliographic information for 567 systematic reviews in Language Education. Nearly double the previous iteration. If we’ve missed any, please let us know.

We’re looking for a user-friendly guide to writing a systematic review protocol that we can point users of IDESR too. PRISMA-P based, ideally. Please let us know if you know of one.

Who is publishing systematic review in language education? We’ve been playing around with visualising the contents of IDESR. This word cloud shows where SRs in language education have been published. The bigger the text, the more reviews that journal has published.

NEWS: IDESR is now accepting registrations for protocols for systematic reviews in all fields of education. IDESR.org
