To begin, MSc. Pham Minh Tien provided guidance on tools that support literature reviews: how to use Google and Google Scholar to search for ideas, build research profiles, and set alerts for topics of interest. He then introduced AI‑assisted tools such as Elicit and SciSpace, which leverage new technologies to save substantial time and effort in literature reviews and improve research quality. In addition, tools such as Meta‑analysis techniques and VOSviewer were presented to support students—especially for qualitative research tasks.

MSc. Pham Minh Tien shares on the topic “Searching and Conducting Literature Reviews.”

Continuing the program, Dr. Bui Ngoc Toan introduced and instructed students on installing and using Mendeley for automatic citation. The software is highly effective in ensuring citations are performed correctly and saving students’ time.
