The Literature Searching Workshop held on 12 April 2025 was successfully conducted as a collaborative initiative between Cochrane Indonesia and Cochrane Australia, featuring a full-day program focused on strengthening participants’ competencies in evidence searching and management. Led by Steve McDonald, PhD, and supported by facilitators from both Cochrane centers, the workshop covered foundational principles of literature searching, developing effective search strategies, hands-on PubMed exercises, and management of search results using reference managers and automated screening tools. The session also included active contributions from Cochrane Indonesia representatives, who guided participants through practical steps and advanced techniques. The event concluded with a reporting session aligned with PRISMA guidelines and participant feedback collection, ensuring that the workshop outcomes contributed meaningfully to enhancing evidence-based research capacity.
