Thx Razia Aliani for introducing Searchsmart.org: “Go use this goldmine that people do not know about!“ There are hundreds of databases that noone uses - despite their specific advantages. Try it out, and be surprised which ones work best!

Interesting for systematic reviewers: ProQuest, from Clarivate now supports bulk downloads of up to 20,000 records. Just create a MyResearch account and download the search results there.
