Abstract
AbstractThe increase in systematic review and evidence-synthesis projects has coincided with the need for database searches to retrieve the most optimal research. While traditionally this has required search iterations and their translations to be executed manually, a select few resources—MEDLINE Transpose, Ovid Search Translator, and Polyglot Search Translator—have emerged in recent years with the capacity to execute translations through automated means. Perceiving these tools’ operability and comparative effectiveness enables researchers to realize their relevance and apply discretion in their utilization.Keywords: Systematic reviewsdatabase searchingsearch stringssearch translatorsMEDLINE Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries is a peer-reviewed professional journal devoted to the access, evaluation, and management of electronic resources in the medical library environment. This journal will be an essential resource for academic medical school libraries, hospital libraries, and other health sciences libraries. The material in the Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries will complement articles published in Medical Reference Services Quarterly (also edited by M. Sandra Wood), which highlights the reference and bibliographic instruction aspects of electronic resources.
