#medlibs and #evidencesynthesis nerds - the next Library Evidence Synthesis Services Symposium (LESSS) is upon us and open for free registration 😊 sites.google.com/view/lesss/r...
Planning a new #EvidenceSynthesis or updating an existing one? We've made a major update to CEE's Guidelines and Standards for Evidence Synthesis in Environmental Management (Version 5.1)
📌 See Section 3.2 for new Guidance and Standards on the use of #ArtificialIntelligence.

...and the data extraction, etc. And yeah, I think at best most doctoral students feel that they are part of a team. It probably helps that they are paid to train and begin work as researchers rather than them paying tuition?
This has been a thing in Sweden for several years. I'd say at least half of the systematic/scoping reviews I performed searches for while working here have been part of a doctoral project. Most often been supervisors as coauthors who helped with the screening.
Join us for RTI Office Hours on January 13 at 1 pm CT to get your questions answered about the program, the application process, and what you can gain from this year-long research training experience.

The #MLAUXCaucus hosted the EBSCOhost Idea Exchange to discuss outstanding issues, solutions, and suggested enhancements in the new UI. We’ve synthesized feedback from the nearly 400 attendees into one resource. DM me if you need a PDF #medlibs #EvidenceSynthesis go.brown.edu/ebscohost-ex...
The value that libraries deliver is multidimensional. Through 2026 I have been highlighting studies from different sectors that that show the value librarians and knowledge specialists deliver.

Infographic showing the differences between scoping reviews, mapping reviews and evidence and gap maps
One of the key differences between scoping reviews, mapping reviews and evidence and gap maps is found in the presentation of results. Take at look at the infographic which tables the differences: https://jbi.global/scoping-review-network

#medlibs - an interesting proposal, and seeming more necessary as the complexity of AI tool details and uses in #evidencesynthesis work increases:
Transparent Reporting of AI in Systematic Literature Reviews: Development of the PRISMA-trAIce Checklist. doi.org/10.2196/80247
