Can electronic search engines optimize screening of search results in systematic reviews: an empirical study
BACKGROUND Most electronic search efforts directed at identifying primary studies for inclusion in systematic reviews rely on the optimal Boolean search features of search interfaces such as DIALOG and Ovid. Our objective is to test the ability of an Ultraseek search engine to rank MEDLINE records of the included studies of Cochrane reviews within the top half of all the records retrieved by th...
متن کاملStrategies to optimize MEDLINE and EMBASE search strategies for anesthesiology systematic reviews. An experimental study.
BACKGROUND A high-quality electronic search is essential for ensuring accuracy and comprehensiveness among the records retrieved when conducting systematic reviews. Therefore, we aimed to identify the most efficient method for searching in both MEDLINE (through PubMed) and EMBASE, covering search terms with variant spellings, direct and indirect orders, and associations with MeSH and EMTREE ter...
متن کاملOn Low Overlap among Search Results of Academic Search Engines
Number of published scholarly articles is growing exponentially. To tackle this information overload, researchers are increasingly depending on niche academic search engines. Recent works have shown that two major general web search engines: Google and Bing, have high level of agreement in their top search results. In contrast, we show that various academic search engines have low degree of agr...
متن کاملHeuristic and Systematic Use of Search Engines
It is becoming increasingly important to understand in greater detail how people process information and make decisions while searching on the World Wide Web. With the distinction between systematic and heuristic processing, dual-process theories and decision theory provide a useful framework for analyzing this decision-making. A laboratory quasi-experiment was conducted, combining a client-ori...
متن کاملNon-systematic Search and Learning: An Empirical Study
This paper explores the performance of a new complete nonsystematic search algorithm learn-SAT on two types of 3-SAT problems, (i) an extended range of AIM problems [1] and (ii) structured unsolvable problems [2]. These are thought to present a difficult challenge for non-systematic search algorithms. They have been extensively used to study powerful special purpose SAT algorithms. We consider ...
