Systematic Review Search Strategy | How to plan and present your search terms

When you develop your systematic review protocol, you need to describe your search strategy in detail. This video will show you what goes into the search strategy, how to search with keywords and how to figure out where all those text words and subject terms fit in. The information in this video is relevant whether you are conducting a systematic review, scoping review or any other type of literature review. When you describe your search strategy in your protocol, it is important to be as detailed as possible. The JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis describes the ins and outs of a search strategy well (see link below). I show you how to organise your text words and subject terms into a table, in this video. Consult the help file of each database before you do your search seeing that each database works differently, and once you know how the database works, you can copy and paste your text words from the table. I use real-life search strategy examples and I’d like to thank the systematic reviewers who gave permission for us to use these.
