Abstract

Meta-research is a bourgeoning field studying topics with significant relevance to health sciences librarianship, such as research reproducibility, peer review, and open access. As a discipline that studies research itself and the practices of researchers, meta-research spans disciplines and encompasses a broad spectrum of topics and methods. The breadth of meta-research presents a significant challenge for identifying published meta-research studies. Introducing a subject heading for meta-research in the controlled vocabularies of literature databases has the potential to increase the visibility of meta-research, further advance the field, and expand its impact on research practices. Given the relatively recent designation of meta-research as a field and its expanding use as a term, now is the time to develop appropriate indexing vocabulary. We seek to call attention to the value of meta-research for health sciences librarianship, describe the challenges of identifying meta-research literature with currently available key terms, and highlight the need to establish controlled vocabulary specific to meta-research.

认识到元研究的价值,并使其更容易找到。
元研究是一个新兴领域,研究与健康科学图书馆事业具有重大相关性的主题,如研究再现性、同行评审和开放获取。作为一门研究研究本身和研究人员实践的学科,元研究跨越学科,涵盖了广泛的主题和方法。元研究的广度对识别已发表的元研究提出了重大挑战。在文献数据库的受控词汇中引入元研究的主题标题,有可能提高元研究的可见性,进一步推进该领域,并扩大其对研究实践的影响。鉴于元研究是一个相对较新的领域,它作为一个术语的使用也在不断扩大,现在是开发合适的索引词汇的时候了。我们试图引起人们对元研究在健康科学图书馆工作中的价值的关注,描述用当前可用的关键术语识别元研究文献的挑战,并强调建立元研究专用受控词汇的必要性。
