This Coffee Lecture will take place at Zentrum für Lehre und Forschung ZLF (see location above), in room Möwe.This 15-minute coffee lecture covers key strategies for critically assessing scientific articles. We’ll discuss impact (e.g., citations, journal quality, relevance) and risk of bias (RoB) using tools like RoB 2 (randomized trials), ROBINS-I (non-randomized studies), and QUADAS-2 (diagnostic accuracy studies). We’ll also clarify PRISMA (for systematic review transparency) and GRADE (for evaluating evidence certainty). Gain practical tips to quickly assess research reliability—ideal for improving literature reviews and informed decision-making in academia!
