Love the changes to the #JBI Manual of Evidence Synthesis. Thanks to @katemsaylor for sharing & alerting me to it on the other platform. I appreciate the links to previously published guidance for the review type in each chapter. Ex. scoping reviews --> jbi-global-wiki.refined.site/space/MANUAL/3… 😍

Just completed a #PRESS for a peer librarian - it was in a database that I'm familiar with but don't use for my SR work & it refreshed things for me. It also forced me to go to the DB search help page to find out if something was possible. #SearchNerd #CanMedLibs #MedLibs #SysRev

Wise people (in the past): We must minimize bias, so let's have two humans do the same task & compare their results, despite the time costs Researchers testing GenAI: The system can screen the records in a fraction of the time, but the cost is a slight loss of accuracy Me: 🤔😟😵‍💫

Research study: My milkshake is better than yours & will satisfy all your needs Me: OK, let me try it & show me the recipe Study: We do not have a sample or recipe to share with you. We tasted it so take our word for it - it is better Me: 😶 #TransparentMethods are not optional

Our very own Anthea Sutton has co-written a piece with UCL's Veronica Parisi on ChatGPT and systematic literature searching for the Journal of EAHIL. Read it here, along with lots of other content about AI and library and information science: ojs.eahil.eu/JEAHIL/issue/v…

Rapid reviews: “at JBI we believe the simplest definition is that they are reviews characterized by the omission, abbreviation, or simplification of the traditional steps in a systematic review.” Read more in JBI position statement: ow.ly/FEPe50Nbxoa #JBIMethodology

Interesting read with lots of practical suggestions. Large scoping reviews: managing volume and potential chaos in a pool of evidence sources: jclinepi.com/article/S0895-… #EvidenceSynthesis #ScopingReviews #Guidance

I've seen lots of reviews that use only MeSH terms in their #Medline searches. This is a fantastic thread that demonstrates why you should not just search with #MeSH for your #SystematicReview #SearchStrategy

🤔 moment of the day: Was working on #DataExtraction for an #EvidenceSynthesis project, and came across an "interesting" inclusion criteria: articles that have perfect structure. Hmmm, I wonder how they evaluated perfect structure.

👇 And, don't use #ChatGPT for your medical research either. I spent an hour helping someone look up fulltext for their citations - turns out they did not exist (though the journal, volume and issue # were all solid - there just wasn't an article by that name or author in it).

Folks that help/teach others to do/find research, help me out with this poll on citation hallucinations from #ChatGPT. Have you helped someone to track down an article fulltext based on a legit-looking citation only to find out the article simply does not exist?

Just saw a review spell #CINAHL using "CIANHL". So, I thought to myself - that must be a rare occurrence - but it is not. A Google Scholar search returned more than 80 results, and the ones I scanned looked like misspellings of CINAHL based on the sentences they were in. #SysRev

Interesting result!

Human librarian vs Chatgpt4 vs custom gpt librarian bot at constructing keyword search strategy. The human librarian won comfortably..
