Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Our research lab publishes dozens of papers every year to promote projects in our field of research, mostly around People Analytics. Among these papers are systematic reviews of relevant literature, which analyze the progression of research within our field.


We would like to collaborate with students to support our literature review process by categorizing papers and summarizing important findings. This allows us to extract and process data more easily.


This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

  • Familiarizing themselves with our research and the types of academic papers that we are interested in.
  • Reading studies relevant to our area of research.
  • Applying the categorization scheme to classify relevant studies.
  • Summarizing important results from relevant studies.


Bonus steps in the process would also include:

  • Working with researchers to draft a publication based on the results.
What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Understanding of our area of research and the purpose of our project
  • Understanding and categorization of relevant studies
  • Summarization of important information


Bonus steps would include:

  • Assisting in the writing of a publication


Final deliverables should include

  • A final report.
How will you support learners in completing the project?

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

  • Our research projects
  • Current understanding of our field of research
  • Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?

In order to complete this project, students can self-teach, but it is beneficial to be familiar with:

  • Academic papers and their structure
  • Academic writing


Again, students can complete this project without any of the prior knowledge listed here. Students will be expected to research and learn more about the above as the project goes along.
