Description
EBSCO is an online research database that provides access to academic literature and journals whilst supporting literature searching and review. EBSCO is available as an enterprise model meaning everyone across the department can access it. It is used to run literature reviews, fill evidence gaps, and keep up to date with the latest academic research. It supports quality assurance (e.g., sense-checking external literature reviews), collating evidence for option assessments, and methodological work such as econometrics research (literature review, model verification, and comparison with academic findings).
