Congratulations to Andrew Dullea (SWAR 2023 awardee) for his recent publication in Cochrane Evidence Synthesis and Methods. His research focused on the sensitivity and completeness of search strategies using PubReMiner. PubReMiner is a text-mining tool that analyses a seed set of citations to assess word frequency in titles, abstracts, and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). This study aimed to determine the sensitivity and precision of search strategies developed using the PubReMiner tool compared to conventional search strategies developed by a librarian. This study illustrates the value of multi-review SWARs in producing more generalisable and practice-relevant methodological insights.
