Alexander Pachanov; Catharina Münte; Julian Hirt; Dawid Pieper – Research Synthesis Methods, 2024
While geographic search filters exist, few of them are validated and there are currently none that focus on Germany. We aimed to develop and validate a highly sensitive geographic search filter for MEDLINE (PubMed) that identifies studies about Germany. First, using the relative recall method, we created a gold standard set of studies about…

Casey, Monica; Raynor, Michael; Jacob, Catherine; Sharp, Stephen; McFarlane, Emma – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
Introduction and aim: NICE guideline surveillance determines whether previously published guidelines need updating. The surveillance process must balance time constraints with methodological rigor. It includes a rapid review to identify new evidence to contradict, reinforce or clarify guideline recommendations. Despite this approach, the screening…

Wanyama, Seperia B.; McQuaid, Ronald W.; Kittler, Markus – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
Systematic literature reviews are common in social research for integrating and synthesising existing research. This paper argues that the outcomes of such reviews are affected by the choice of bibliographic databases. It presents evidence of substantial variation across three large electronic databases (Scopus, Web of Science and EBSCO) in a…

Teare, Georgia; Taks, Marijke – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2020
Reviews of literature are conducted within academia to summarize and highlight gaps in findings and research approaches associated with a particular line of inquiry. Identifying sources to be included in reviews in rigorous ways can be challenging for interdisciplinary research topics, as relevant articles may be found in a wide variety of…

Alessio Castiglione – Research on Education and Media, 2025
The use of social networking sites (SNSs) in teaching is of increasing importance, for it puts into question how what we have, until the digital revolution, understood formal education to be. The earliest social media came about and were developed parallel to generations Z and Alpha. This review analyzed at least 8 articles published between 2019…

Robins, Simon – Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship, 2022
This study utilizes COUNTER 5 data from the University of Dayton (UD) to measure full-text retrievals of e-journal articles from five major academic journal publishers (Taylor & Francis, SAGE, Oxford, Wiley, and Springer). Usage data from these publishers' e-journals within EBSCO is compared to the same content when accessed from publisher…

Briscoe, Simon; Bethel, Alison; Rogers, Morwenna – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
Background: The search for studies for a systematic review should be conducted systematically and reported transparently to facilitate reproduction. This study aimed to report on the conduct and reporting of backward citation searching (ie, checking reference lists) and forward citation searching in a cross section of Cochrane reviews. Citation…

Supriadi, Udin; Supriyadi, Tedi; Abdussalam, Aam; Rahman, Aam Ali – European Journal of Educational Research, 2022
This bibliometric study aims to map the value education model research to provide direction for future research, especially in education and teaching. It is essential because value is the core of education. After all, in addition to opening the window of knowledge, education also has a role in transferring values for internalizing them in the…

Waffenschmidt, Siw; Navarro-Ruan, Tamara; Hobson, Nick; Hausner, Elke; Sauerland, Stefan; Haynes, R. Brian – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
A retrospective analysis published by the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) in 2018 concluded that no filter for non-randomized studies (NRS) achieved sufficient sensitivity ([greater than or equal to] 92%), a precondition for comprehensive information retrieval. New NRS filters are therefore required, taking into…

Gusenbauer, Michael; Haddaway, Neal R. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
Rigorous evidence identification is essential for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (evidence syntheses) because the sample selection of relevant studies determines a review's outcome, validity, and explanatory power. Yet, the search systems allowing access to this evidence provide varying levels of precision, recall, and reproducibility and…

Slebodnik, Maribeth; Pardon, Kevin; Hermer, Janice – Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship, 2022
The number of systematic reviews (SRs) published continues to grow, and the methodology of evidence synthesis has been adopted in many fields outside of its traditional health sciences origins. SRs are now published in fields as wide ranging as business, environmental science, education, and engineering; however, there is little research looking…

Rogers, Morwenna; Bethel, Alison; Briscoe, Simon – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
Background: Forwards citation searching is a valuable method for finding relevant studies in reviews where concepts are not clearly defined. Scopus and Web of Science can both be used for forwards citation searching but there is little evidence comparing the resources for this purpose. Method: 104 source records relevant to a scoping review of…

Rogers, Morwenna; Bethel, Alison; Abbott, Rebecca – Research Synthesis Methods, 2018
Background: Qualitative research in dementia improves understanding of the experience of people affected by dementia. Searching databases for qualitative studies is problematic. Qualitative-specific search strategies might help with locating studies. Objective: To examine the effectiveness (sensitivity and precision) of 5 qualitative strategies on…
