Your first publication starts here.
Not in a lecture hall. On your screen, with your data, beside an expert who's published.
Two runs through the complete workflow. First, your tutor shows you how. Then, you do it yourself — and walk away with a manuscript ready for submission.
What systematic review training gets wrong.
mapped Academy is the opposite. It's live. It's on your screen. And you leave with a manuscript, not a PDF.
Two runs. One manuscript.
Every Academy participant goes through the entire 8-step workflow twice — once watching, once doing. No shortcuts.
Watch & Learn
Your tutor shares their screen and walks you through every step of the workflow on a real project. You see how decisions are made in real-time — from defining PICOS elements and identifying literature gaps to running the meta-analysis.
- Tutor shares screen on a live project
- End-to-end walkthrough of all 8 steps
- Ask questions as decisions happen
- See the real thought process behind each choice
Execute & Publish
Now it's your screen, your data, your research question. You execute every step actively — screening, extraction, risk of bias, meta-analysis — while your tutor supervises, corrects, and guides in real-time.
- You generate the idea and validate with mapped VALIDATION
- You execute every step on your own project
- Tutor supervises and corrects in real-time
- Reach a submission-ready manuscript
- Learn peer review, journal selection, and the submission process
Eight steps. Every one, with your tutor.
This isn't a course outline. It's what you'll actually do — step by step, on your own project.
Define Your Question
PICOS framework, identifying research gaps, formulating a focused clinical question
Validate Your Idea
mapped VALIDATION score, feasibility assessment, existing evidence landscape
Search the Literature
Multi-database search, MeSH mapping, Boolean logic, deduplication strategy
Screen Studies
AI-powered screening, inclusion/exclusion criteria, dual-reviewer workflow
Extract Data
PDF-to-structured-data extraction, custom forms, quality checks
Assess Quality
RoB 2.0, ROBINS-I, Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, QUADAS-2
Analyze Results
R-based meta-analysis, forest plots, sensitivity analysis, publication bias
Write & Submit
Manuscript generation, journal selection, the real peer-review process

Taught by researchers who've survived Reviewer 2, not trainers who've read about it.
Your tutor is a published physician who has navigated the same PROSPERO submissions, the same Reviewer 2 feedback, and the same journal formatting nightmares you're about to face. They've done what you're about to do — and they'll be right there on your screen while you do it.
You don't leave with knowledge. You leave with a manuscript.
Submission-ready manuscript
Not a draft. A manuscript your tutor has reviewed.
Real-world peer review understanding
How it actually works — not the textbook version.
Journal selection confidence
How to pick the right journal and navigate submission.
Mapped Certified Reviewer
A credential that proves you've executed, not just studied.
LinkedIn badge
Shareable certificate for your profile and CV.
Confidence to do it again
Your next review won't need a tutor.
Other courses teach you about systematic reviews. mapped Academy helps you publish one.
Two runs. One manuscript. A tutor who's been where you're going.
