Topics

Meta-Synthesis as a Qualitative Research Design: Foundations, Procedures, and Standards (March 21, 2026; 1 PM - 4 PM)

This lecture introduces meta-synthesis as a rigorous qualitative research design used to integrate and reinterpret findings from multiple qualitative studies. It examines the philosophical foundations that ground meta-synthesis, clarifies its distinction from systematic and scoping reviews, and explains its contribution to theory development and conceptual refinement. The session walks through essential procedures, including defining the review question, establishing inclusion criteria, conducting systematic searches, extracting qualitative findings, and applying analytic approaches such as thematic synthesis or interpretive integration. Emphasis is placed on methodological transparency, credibility, and alignment with academic and ethical standards in reporting. By the end of the lecture, students will be equipped not only to understand the meta-synthesis conceptually, but also to design, conduct, and present a study that meets scholarly expectations.

Objectives:

Understand the fundamental concepts, principles, and applications of meta-synthesis in research;
Perform meta-synthesis procedures using appropriate and valid methodology; and
Interpret and report meta-synthesis results appropriately, following academic standards and ethical guidelines.

The Nexus of Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) Indexing (March 28, 2026; 1 PM - 4 PM)

This specialized webinar explores the critical intersection between the world’s two most prestigious citation databases, Scopus and Web of Science (WoS). It examines the indexing process, the role of impact factors, and practical strategies researchers can use to strengthen their global research visibility. The session also provides guidance on navigating editorial standards and understanding what contributes to high-tier publication success. Overall, it offers a focused roadmap for researchers who aim to publish more strategically and increase the reach and impact of their scholarly work.

Objectives:

To differentiate the selection criteria and metric systems (CiteScore vs. Journal Impact Factor) between Scopus and Web of Science;
To provide actionable strategies for identifying and targeting "Nexus" journals that are indexed in both databases to double research impact; and
To demonstrate best practices in manuscript preparation that meet the rigorous quality and ethical standards of high-indexed publishers like IGI Global.
