Median answers on planning and designing subsequent research after conducting a preclinical SR.
This graph shows medians per question of a 7 points Likert scale. On this scale, 1 corresponded to completely disagree and 7 to completely agree. Thus, medians with values of 5 or above indicate agreement with the statements. Number of participants (n = 11).
Fig 4.
Median answers on writing subsequent research after conducting a preclinical SR.
This graph shows medians per question of a 7 points Likert scale. On this scale, 1 corresponded to completely disagree and 7 to completely agree. Thus, median with values of 5 or above indicate agreement with the statements. Number of participants (n = 10).
Fig 5.
Median answers on appraising research and critical stance after conducting (part of) a preclinical SR.
This graph shows medians per question of a 7 points Likert scale. On this scale, 1 corresponded to completely disagree and 7 to completely agree. Thus, medians with values of 5 or above indicate agreement with the statements. The total number of participants was 31 for the “Completed SR” group and 18 for the “Ongoing SR” group.
