We couldn't agree more! Check out PRISMA-S for complete guidance in reporting search strategies

Thanks to @carrieprice78 for finding this nice example of reporting PRISMA-S Items 1 (databases), 8 (full search strategies), 9 (limits), 13 (date of search), and 15 (total records)--and thanks to the authors for their emphasis on clear reporting: bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

In PRISMA-S, we recommend putting all search strategies in repositories, whether an institutional repository, a generalist repository like Zenodo, or a specialist repository like searchRxiv. Journal supplementary materials are not only inaccessible, but they often go missing

Now you know to put your searches into repositories, what details should be included? All PRISMA-S items should go in the supplementary materials, plus additional reporting in the abstract and/or manuscript body for most items …maticreviewsjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… h/t Miss Chiff

@carrieprice78 うーまく13歳 Carrie’s correct. Per Rethlefsen doi.org/10.1186/s13643… “Include the search strategies for each database and information source, copied and pasted exactly as run.” Makes sense too, as you want others to be able to replicate the entire review, including all searches.
