Pleased to share our latest validated search filters! The NICE AI medical device intervention filters (MEDLINE & Embase, Ovid) retrieve evidence about the interventions effectively and reliably: cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Very proud to have contributed to this scoping review 😊! Hope that it encourages the development of validated geographic search filters for more locations. #medlibs #ukmedlibs #canmedlibs #ausmedlibs
Geographic filters in literature searches can help limit evidence to specific characteristics, such as country or region. A scoping review aimed to identify validated geographic search filters & evaluate their development & performance measures.👇

It's a start. More wiki entries later. #medlibs
Please note: The filters retrieve evidence about medical device interventions with an AI component for digital health technology research topics. The filters are not designed to find evidence about AI in general. Also, AI technologies were not used in their development.
Great to hear that this new geographic search filter for Germany has been published 😀!

CRD and EPPI Centre researchers investigated geographic limits on Web of Science Core Collection databases. A translation of NICE's UK MEDLINE filter is in the appendix doi.org/10.5195/jmla.2024.16…

Before starting a systematic review, make sure an information scientist/research librarian is part of the review team. They have specialised skills to develop & implement a comprehensive search strategy

Loved this Twin Peaks event ☕️🦉🌳 @CPXMCR
But, still put out that the quizmaster thought that my drawing of the weirdest Twin Peaks event was of Santa 🤷🏽♀️
It’s obviously a masterpiece depicting the Ep8 ‘Gotta light’ scene from Twin Peaks: The Return 😂 youtu.be/rTCefc-uuEw?si=Racs…
TONIGHT, we enter the town of TWIN PEAKS!
There are limited tickets left for our Twin Peaks Celebration🦉
We'll be kicking off at 19:30 with Blue Velvet, followed by a Twin Peaks Quiz, and then Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me at midnight!

Great new development for people wanting to use the NICE UK geographic search filters to find UK evidence from MEDLINE & Embase 😊 #medlibs #ukmedlibs #canmedlibs
However, please remember to cite us🙏

This living review (and it's website: systematicreviewlution.com/) is a treasure chest of citations!
Need a few citations for studies that show that the literature searches in #SysRev are insufficient? How about 54 citations!
