Abstract
We present a review of the ways of thinking about research skills developed in higher education and used by graduates at work as discussed in the academic literature, focusing on how graduates find, evaluate and utilise new information as well as produce new knowledge. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol to inform our systematic literature review strategy, we searched four academic databases (Web of Science, ProQuest, Scopus and EBSCOHost) yielding 3239 items. We are currently half-way through title and abstract screening before full-text reviews, and present emerging findings on the bases of our work to date. Our research so far shows certain - usually discipline-specific - themes dominating the literature on the development and use of higher education research skills and that there are comparatively few publications looking at the use of those research skills at work, which suggests a potentially promising area for further research.
