Every day is a good day for sharing one of the most useful papers about research data ever written. PLEASE get your people to understand and follow this advice. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

In this short video, Assoc Prof Edoardo Aromataris explains why systematic reviews are important in evidence-based healthcare. Learn more about the different types of systematic reviews in the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis: https://ow.ly/UJc550V3gTT #EBHC #JBIMethodology

Watching things crumble but don't worry, NIST had a piece commissioned in honor of their 125th anniversary www.nist.gov/blogs/taking...

If you did your systematic review in ScienceDirect with two keywords but you did it according to PRISMA you're probably good to go

is it kind of annoying how "review literature as topic" and its narrower subheadings in MeSH don't actually get review literature as a topic but rather, just reviews? it's not a great discovery tool.

Just when you thought it was safe to dive into MeSH terms... I'm popping up a bit late to give a peek at what I've found for new #2026MeSH descriptors. Behold, a #medlibs and adjacent #expertsearching thread!

Black History Month: What is it and why is it important? By Alem Tedeneke (from the archives) www.weforum.org/stories/2024... Index of Project Gutenberg Works on Black History edited by David Widger is available online: www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/58975 #books #literature #blackhistorymonth

Bad Bunny was amazing!

I am not closing this gd manuscript until it is finished

Are doctoral students working in teams now? Are they ti/ab and full text reviewing for each other? Data extracting for each other? That's the only way I can think of to have actual an systematic review as your doctoral thesis. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

New interesting article -- I can't read it b/c I don't have access. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41274387/ If anyone reads it, I'd appreciate your comments! An unintentional thread below.

Happy new year! Did you read the PRISMA Statement that I guarantee is going to be cited incorrectly at least 5,309,788 times in scholarly literature this year? Now's your chance to learn what it is so you can use it correctly! www.prisma-statement.org

The automated feed on new books at @gutenberg.org is now live!

I did it according to Primsa

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

I had writer's block on a manuscript I have been working on for a while now, and I think I don't have writer's block any more. I made so much progress today! Oh joyous day!

Someone mentioned my "WTF did you do with PRISMA" video over on LinkedIn, much to my pleasure. Made me think to give you your holiday reading assignment. ACTUALLY READ THE PRISMA THANKS www.bmj.com/content/372/...

As we wrap up 2025, I wanted to share some of the videos I've made that strike on my pet peeves in #LiteratureReviews, #SystematicReviews, #searching and #EvidenceSynthesis. A thread. 🧵 #medlibs First up, report your databases with their platforms correctly. youtu.be/lSn3IVxGG7M?...

Me explaining why you have to use archaic search terms sometimes

Thrilled to have collaborated with @mlrethlefsen.bsky.social & Sara Schroter (& the wonderful librarians involved in our study) on this new article in BMJ Open. TL;DR: Librarians have expertise to support evidence synthesis & many would happily be peer reviewers! bmjopen.bmj.com/content/15/1...

I did an Advent of Searching Skills last December and barely anyone participated so I guess no one wants to advance their searching skills

Hi #medlibs et al who is providing guidance for systematic reviews of incidence and prevalence these days? I thought it was JBI but I am missing something. TYIA

Excellent, excellent webinar with the fabulous @daniellepollock.bsky.social -- scoping review purpose and process. I'm really enjoying watching, and I appreciate the shout-out to #medlibs & focus on the importance of the search (and phases of searching). www.youtube.com/live/l5bRbo7...

who would voluntarily choose chaos and cruelty i have no idea NLM hiring a director? i can hardly believe it myself hr.nih.gov/careers/open...

anyone having trouble running searches in pubmed today or is it just me

Are there any #toxicology #librarians out there I can be friends with? #toxlibs #medlibs

Good morning! #librarians and #medlibs who use Overton, how do you like it? Feel free to DM!

This is interesting to read! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41092928/

Do any #medlibs know if the shutdown is affecting search alert emails? I know several users who are not getting their search alerts, which I would have thought was automated. TIA!

Interesting podcast from the Guardian's Science Weekly. I'm listening now! www.theguardian.com/science/audi...

Welp. www.science.org/content/arti...

couldn't put my zoom virtual background on fast enough this morning and realized i should probably clean up my zoom real background

Please remove me from this list

The government shutdown is going to affect the MEDLINE component of all the platforms that hold MEDLINE, right? #medlibs

My personal trainer said I gave him hope for old age and I vommed

I'm so pleased to see this and I can't wait to dig in! "Overview of evidence synthesis types and modes" @daniellepollock.bsky.social et al pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40914296/

Question for #medlibs et al -- how do you like EndNote 2025? Worth the upgrade?

Just wanted to share a really nice poster by @carrieprice.bsky.social and colleagues. As someone who deliberately invited librarians a lot when I was editing systematic reviews, I can vouch for what they add. Specific info about attitudes and priorities is really interesting. osf.io/8khyp

The damage, the cruelty, the ignorance... is never ending. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I've officially been at my new job longer than I was at my old job.

I have this alert set up in PubMed: "conducted accordance PRISMA"[tiab:~5] OR "following PRISMA"[tiab:~5]

I just used heterogenous in a sentence I'm a library scientist

AI search tools for evidence synthesis. So proud of our team! #medlibs #canmedlibs #ukmedlibs #ausmedlibs #expertsearching #evidencesynthesis onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Here's a new one: "The Johanna Briggs Institute" First of all it was Joanna and second of all they go by JBI now.

If somewhere in your #SystematicReview methods, you are reporting that "a medical librarian developed, ran, recorded, reported [whatever] the search," then ... I WANT TO SEE THAT MEDICAL LIBRARIAN AS A CO-AUTHOR or at the very least an acknowledgement.
