Discussing all things #EvidenceSynthesis, quotes from #SysRev consultations, & critiquing published non-systematic #SysRev searches.

Love troubleshooting systematic searching queries. If I come across one - I can't hold myself back from trying!

Interesting exploratory study about searching the international HTA database, and practical implications for SR searchers. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/cesm.12034

I was looking at #SystematicReview reporting standards & noticed that there is no mention or recommendation on reporting the methodological guide used/consulted to conduct the review. Is this why it is rarely reported (used)?

Could inclusion of such an item in the reporting checklists have resulted in greater awareness and understanding of the role of methodological or conducting guides for systematic reviews and other types of evidence synthesis?

I'm having Web of Science Core Collection issues. I searched "aging" in the title field, used quotation marks, and even enabled the "exact searching" function, and yet I am still getting titles that do not include the word "aging". It always worked before, but not today. Why is this happening? Have you #medlibs come across this recently?

Working on translating a #SearchFilter from a database on one interface to the same database on a different interface - wow have I learned alot! Strangely, I've used both options before, & yet there was a lot I did not know that I now know. #SRLibrarianProblems #SystematicReview #ExpertSearching

I did a new video today, and I have lots more in the works. Let me know what you think!

Happy 2023! Let's hope that 2023 generates fewer systematic reviews "conducted according to #PRISMA" than 2022 🙃

Tested Galactica on a topic I was certain I could vet/verify (systematic searching, of course) and this is what it came up with: https://galactica.org/?max_new_tokens=600&prompt=systematic+searching

At least on this topic, it seems to have a little ways to go.

Some days I am simply reviewer #2 for evidence synthesis methods and search strategies.
