Cooper, Chris; Dawson, Sarah; Lefebvre, Carol – Research Synthesis Methods, 2022
Systematic reviews of medical devices have generally adopted the same methodology for the conduct of their reviews as reviews of other clinical interventions, in particular, medicines. It has been suggested that these methods may need to be developed to account for the challenges of reviewing the evidence for medical devices when compared to…

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…

Vivian Wilson – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Academic music libraries in the US collect resources to support music students and faculty in their performance and research needs. These resources include non-text items such as musical scores and recordings that are difficult to represent in standard library information systems that were built for text items. The advent of web scale discovery…

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…

Korevaar, Daniël A.; Salameh, Jean-Paul; Vali, Yasaman; Cohen, Jérémie F.; McInnes, Matthew D. F.; Spijker, René; Bossuyt, Patrick M. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
Introduction: Many diagnostic accuracy studies are never reported in full in a peer-reviewed journal. Searching for unpublished studies may avoid bias due to selective publication, enrich the power of systematic reviews, and thereby help to reduce research waste. We assessed searching practices among recent systematic reviews of diagnostic…

Spry, Carolyn; Mierzwinski-Urban, Monika – Research Synthesis Methods, 2018
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of the peer review of literature search strategies prepared in support of rapid reviews. Methods: A sample of 200 CADTH rapid reviews was selected. For each rapid review meeting the inclusion criteria, the pre-peer-reviewed and corresponding post-peer-reviewed search strategies…

Wiersma, Gabrielle; Tovstiadi, Esta – portal: Libraries and the Academy, 2017
This article presents the results of a study of academic e-books that compared the metadata and search results from major academic e-book platforms. The authors collected data and performed a series of test searches designed to produce the same result regardless of platform. Testing, however, revealed metadata-related errors and significant…

Williams, Stella; Dodd, Lorna J.; Steele, Catherine; Randall, Raymond – Journal of Education and Work, 2016
A theoretical framework is essential for the effective evaluation of employability. However, there are a wide range of definitions of employability coexisting in current literature. A review into existing ways in which employability has been conceptualised is needed to inform a better understanding of the nature of contributions made by various…
