What you will walk away with

Four outcomes, each practised on your own research question during the evening.

1

Formulate a research question or hypothesis and build a search strategy

Turn your topic into a focused PICO question and a reproducible search with keywords, MeSH terms and Boolean logic.

2

Find and check the literature with AI: papers, trials, reports, books

Search 30 biomedical sources in one go and confirm every result has a real DOI, PMID or NCT number, never a hallucinated or fake citation, and is not retracted.

3

Evaluate study quality: catch weak and misleading studies

Judge the journal, the authors and the results, and tell a strong study from a weak one in ten minutes.

4

Write with AI, without plagiarism

Outline, reword and polish your own text with AI, reference correctly, and disclose your AI use the way journals require.

By 10 PM you have: a written question, a saved Library of verified sources, one drafted paragraph with correct references, your AI-use disclosure statement, and the one-page checklist.

Bring a topic. Leave with a draft.

Saturday Nov 28, 7 PM Riyadh. Pricing coming soon.
