I decided I could grumpy tweet disappointing systematic review methods or I could do something different today.
Let's try something different. Let's take you to #SearchingSchool.

There's this called Google where you can search for shit so that you understand it better.
One of the things you might do when embarking on a #systematicreview is, well, first, consult with a librarian, but also try to understand some resources.

I was going to save this for tomorrow but I just can't.
A thread.
#Reporting #Searching #SystematicReview
Someone asked me recently if I could share any examples of #SysRev that had GOOD methods sections.

I said, "They're few and far between but usually Cochrane #SysRevs have a well-reported methods section."
However, when I went to look, I couldn't find any great examples. They were all kinda iffy. I was like

Then, this article practically fell in my lap this weekend. It was tweeted from a #COVID19 literature account.
Take a look at that methods section. It's almost glowing. It may as well have a halo around it.

It's Good Friday.
As a sacrifice to Science, I'm going to criticise every single paper I've ever written, one tweet at a time.
Stay tuned..!

Paper #1: Holmes & Spence 2004 @xmodal
Criticism: A non-systematic review of selected papers, no assessment of study quality, bias, or effect sizes. The only novel thing in this paper was a long, harsh critique of Iriki et al. (1996)

Paper #2: Skaliora et al. 2004
Criticism: I contributed only one figure (#8) to this paper, but >30 neonatal rats paid the ultimate price for my crappy patch-clamping skills (only 17 cells) as an MSc student. I still feel the guilt.

Doing a #PhD or #Postdoc & want to write #RegisteredReports in a short timeframe?

But first, what are Registered Reports (RRs)? RRs are a publication format used by over 250 journals that prevent various forms of biased inference and reporting. To do that, RRs split the paper into two stages: 2/n
1⃣A stage 1 RR consists of the introduction, method and analysis plan. These elements are peer reviewed and the journal grants in-principle acceptance based on the importance of the research question & the robustness of the methods. 3/n
I just have a little Friday favor to ask of all would-be authors hoping to embark on a #SystematicReview.
Before you start, could you please read about #SysRev?
It will help you know what you're getting yourself into.
Thread: Required Reading for #SysRev would-be authors.

There are so many resources out there, like the Cochrane Handbook:

This can apply to any SR, need not be a Cochrane SR.

This is becoming my default review template (#SysRev or otherwise) -- lots of links because I want people to have all the resources at their fingertips. You can't say I didn't warn you. #systematicreview #knowbeforeyougo
Well howdy do, it's Friday, let me just give you those links, eh?

Do you know any system or library that can provide us copies of China journal articles through ILL service?
It is increasingly common when we conduct #sysrev that need access the full text of articles in chinese.
What are you doing? #medlibs

Estudio q investiga y compara calidad d búsqueda sistemática de 28 sistemas d búsqueda #SysRev #SystematicReview #RevisiónSistemática. Which Academic Search Systems are Suitable for Systematic Reviews or Meta‐Analyses? Evaluating Retrieval Qualities... onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…
Según los autores los resultados demuestran por qué Google Scholar es inapropiado como sistema de búsqueda principal #SysRev #SystematicReview #RevisiónSistemática #GoogleAcadémico #GoogleScholar
Los autores encontraron diferencias significativas en el rendimiento entre los motores de búsqueda y que ningún sistema de búsqueda es perfecto. #SysRev #SystematicReview #RevisiónSistemática
Muchos artículos son etiquetados incorrectamente como "revisiones sistemáticas" que potencialmente no cumplen con los criterios rigurosos de las revisiones sistemáticas. #SysRev #RevisionesSistematicas
El usuario no siempre desea realizar una verdadera revisión sistemática y cumplir con todos los criterios establecidos por las guías autorizadas antes mencionadas. Hay otras posibilidades de revisión. #SysRev #RevisionesSistematicas
Puede q el usuario quiera hacer una rev “similar a la sistemática” q incorpora algunas características de estas sin adherirse a todos los componentes requeridos, o rev rápida, o una rev exhaustiva d la literatura, o una investigación de precisión específica orientada al paciente
No puedo estar más de acuerdo: “librarians need to start being more assertive when somebody wants a “systematic review” without knowing or wanting to put in all of the work of actually conducting a systematic review. In addition to educating them, we have to remember to say No...
”It is hard to say no, librarians don’t like to say no. Perhaps we should also say no.” #systematicreview #SysRev
“It isn’t that librarians don’t want to do #systematicreviews, they don’t want to waste their time (often several days) on something that goes nowhere or is of such poor quality they need to ask that their name be removed from the paper”
