The manuscript of our latest paper on searching for Public Health Guidelines is now available. We need to use a range of databases and other techniques because we could only find 76% of our includes from MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane Library. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

We looked at whether librarians/info specialists authored the articles, how many sys revs were rated as fulfilling AMSTAR or PRISMA search-related items, etc. Methods in brief here: osf.io/h5jax/

Our general results were shared in our poster

A couple of interesting things: AMSTAR 2 makes it way easier to assess search quality than AMSTAR. #medlibs are much stricter (well, better) judges of PRISMA Item 7. The number of articles that say that 100% of information sources were fully reported is just depressing.

When librarians are doing methods/reporting quality assessment, we don't use AMSTAR/PRISMA or their variants, but use more nuanced measures. To me, this is a clear demonstration these tools haven't met our needs for search methods/quality assessment

Not planning to publish this due to heterogeneous data and other significant limitations, but still has some interesting stuff that may be of use in other ways doi.org/10.17605/OSF.I…

@CADTH_ACMTS I appreciate the Ovid jumpstart links that are provided with the Medline filters. I used one last night and did not have to copy & paste 36 lines. Just add in the ezproxy fragment for my institution and it worked! 🤩 #medlibs #canmedlibs
