New frustration: I'm deduplicating the combined results of the original search & redo (new results) & finding more duplicates than I'd expect. Realising this is probably because I'm now deduplicating on similar records rather than exactly the same. Always more decisions to make in #SystematicReview
Value of a research log. When looking in RefWorks to check the number of #SystematicReview records post-deduplication (deduplicating again after rerunning the searches post-screening) I found 2 folders with slightly different numbers.
I searched for the 2 numbers in my log & found an explanation!

AI can enhance learning in #HigherEducation — especially feedback and engagement — but its effects on skills, reasoning, and critical thinking remain uneven and highly design‑dependent.

A big bulbous ginger root. Two parts (branches?) of it have grown next to each other, fitting almost like jigsaw pieces.
In my ongoing vague idea about increasing the pictures of food in my #SystematicReview training, I’m thinking about this ginger - something to do with words being close, but not the same.
Sessions 1 and 2 are tomorrow, so I don’t know whether I will actually get round to developing the analogy…

The #Olympics may be over, but excellence in #systematicreview methodology will always be medal-worthy! Check out our new blog post about common issues in evidence syntheses:
This is a move in the right direction, for use in #SystematicReview:
1) Stem/no stem ability in web app
2) Truncation & wildcard operators - and in combination with the stem/no stem toggle
3) Proximity operator (Limited like PubMed's - no truncation allowed with proximity)
Still a big improvement!

Since I used #OpenAlex to design and export a #systematicreview search last night, I had to double check just now that my search string still gives the same number of results (it should!).... and it does 🎉.
This is exactly what I would expect from a stable system (which OpenAlex is).
I've used #OpenAlex (web) a lot this week, for exploratory searching & scoping, to show a colleague how it works, & even creating & exporting a search for a #SystematicReview.
Interestingly, I was on it yesterday and was surprised to see the interface had changed from what I had used the day before
So excited to build a #SystematicReview search in #OpenAlex (Web app) today. Designed the search strategy & tested it (with seed studies). Export failed on Firefox, but worked on Edge 😌
