@MaartenvSmeden Just a random critique, or something poorly reported in this study? All data is in OSF: https://t.co/sS50tdmMsE

@libraryvines @carrieprice78 If you have enough experience to feel comfortable reviewing, I’d say, sign up anyway!

@Llipke3 It's purposefully that way to differentiate quality of reporting from quality of methods. Of course, it influences the quality of the methods if stuff's not there to assess. ROBIS includes missing information as part of their tool.

The new EnergyPods at @unmhslic, that is.

@ehh_ptr Congrats!

[Melissa Rethlefsen @mlrethlefsen]

@bergney They won’t come after you! We share all of ours in our repo

[Melissa Rethlefsen @mlrethlefsen]

So glad to see this published! Congrats @apayala @LindyRexie and whole team

@katemsaylor As an FYI, pretty much all of the major AIDS conference abstracts used to be in NLM Gateway, but it doesn't exist anymore; the data, however, does: https://t.co/2iCyDHO4Af (so that's where I found it)

@katemsaylor I have it in XML format; will email you

Thank you to @PresidentStokes and @UNMFund for their support, and gratitude to my @unmhslic colleagues for their support of the Big Give campaign!

@DFanDaBiasedMan @LexBouter Agreed, exact reproduction of a database search is unattainable due to database changes over time. That being said, if the number of results is over 1000% different, it's a pretty good sign the search reported wasn't the search conducted

[Melissa Rethlefsen @mlrethlefsen]

@carrieprice78 @libraryvines Sad, but true. I keep hoping if #medlibs start citing PRISMA-S, it will get mimicked in the literature and a few people here and there might read it and learn. Even we aren't always on top of naming databases searched, though (e.g., only listing Web of Science, Cochrane Library)

[Melissa Rethlefsen @mlrethlefsen]

If fact it's much worse: only 1 in 100 systematic reviews provided the necessary details for all database searches to be fully reproducible. See: https://t.co/Qg2ngqOhqi @mlrethlefsen @dmoher @cochranemthds @cochranecollab

We now have a Graphic Novels collection located on the 4th Floor between the General and Media collections. Look out for our Graphic Novels sticker and check out the great collection we have! #graphicnovels

@amybethreyes I have heard some libraries are permanently transitioning to keycard access only by directive of their institutions, with public access via appointment
