This OSF space is a prototype for an open, citable respository of search strategies for re-use in evidence syntheses (ES) and ES protocols. The repository will provide quick access to high-quality, easily-citable search strategies, saving time and effort during the ES development process.
Each component represents a common concept found in ES search strategies across disciplines (geographies, populations, interventions, etc.)
Search strategies are uploaded as individual .txt files. Each .txt file includes the following header:
#concept (e.g. population)
##search strategy topic (e.g. smallholder farmers)
###database (e.g. CAB Abstracts)
####platform (e.g. Clarivate Analytics)
#####DOI (e.g. 10.1038/s41477-020-00783-z)
