Our next workshop under development: supporting grad student advisors whose students are doing SRs. Even though it's not an "assignment" does not mean the review can be any less rigorous.

Absolutely. Hopefully this workshop helps with educating the faculty members so they can better support students in an appropriate publication method.

But that's also why this workshop is structured the way it is. Starts with a discussion of "have you ever assigned an SR?," talks about why that's problematic, then presents ways they *can* help students get classroom experience with the method, while keeping the published lit high quality.

I had a similar conversation with a student recently, who knew of others being pressured but wasn't being pressured personally. We chatted about what they can do and how they can advocate for themselves if they end up in that situation. I did offer to back them up if they ever need it.

It's definitely a careful conversation full of power dynamics, especially if the student knows they should not be doing the review and the faculty member is pushing it.

msjennmo.bsky.social @msjennmo.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

Absolutely! The workshop includes a section citing a rebuttal written by faculty (e.g. not librarians) about how the search was not of enough caliber for the review (see the study on slide 10). The speaker notes say something about how we do not want set up our students/future colleagues for this.

Fun fact about proximity search in #PubMed : stop words (e.g., the, of, kg, with, etc.) are counted, not overlooked. That means if you are using proximity to find phrases like "cancer of the bladder" or similar, your proximity N will need to account for the stop words. #medlibs

Okay #librarians, what is your favorite hack for quickly answering references questions outside of your area of expertise? I'll go first: Google the topic and add "liguide" to the search. Pretty much guaranteed to have a well researched and open overview of a topic.

dear #medlibs, I am struggling to articulate, but, has anyone else noticed the glaring absence of humanism in the whether-to-use-AI clinical decision trees? I feel super weird being the only one in the room being like "What about cultural norms/expectations? Empathy?...No?"

Building this practice into your workflow will help - increase your research transparency, and - increase the reproducibility of your research, especially long-term Other benefits come with adopting #openscience principles. Ask a librarian to learn more about this and other #open initiatives!

Public repositories like #OpenScienceFramework are a great option for long-term storage of supplemental materials for your #evidencesynthesis or #systematicreview project. You could upload - Final database searches, reported according to PRISMA-S(earching) - All PRISMA checklists - Results libraries

msjennmo.bsky.social @msjennmo.bsky.social · 20/09/2024

I've heard that some journals only provide supplemental materials for so long. Maybe that's the case here? Either way, public repositories like #OpenScienceFramework are a great option. Especially when it comes to searches.

As an aside - I do wish researchers working on search-related projects would include information retrieval experts (i.e. #librarians or information specialists), as we have lots of expertise to contribute on such a project.

Stats tracking is so hard. I did an audit of my own reference statistics for one subject over the time I was the liaison, and it was riddled with inconsistencies. Trying to do better now, but we will see what future me has to say about it.

Could the universities and academics please stop asking students to conduct systematic reviews and meta-analyses? Students can perhaps be expected to critically evaluate a single study at that stage, but a proper systematic review requires real expertise. Ditto meta-analysis.

If you don't mind my asking, what do you mean by an established relationship with your employer? Meaning that it's contract work you could do on your employer's time? There is a faculty member from your institution also involved in the project? Something else?

msjennmo.bsky.social @msjennmo.bsky.social · 11/09/2024

Okay #medlibs and #canmedlibs, contract work for searching. Which are you more likely to do: 1. run it as a freelance / small business for yourself, 2. take positions where the "business" side of things is handled by the employer, 3. something else? I'd love your thoughts.

Full disclosure, my position no longer includes instruction (other than workshops), so I'm not developing those skills or revising that content anymore.
