16 METHODOLOGY Source: 16

17 Structure General search methods Searching for specific aspects of HTA 1. Sources to search How many sources to search? Value of searching different sources Value of searching for different publication types/formats Service providers and search interfaces Designing search strategies Strategy development Search filters Other limits: language, date Peer reviewing search strategies Documenting and reporting search process Health problem and current use of technology 2. Description and technical characteristics of technology 3. Safety 4. Diagnostic accuracy 5. Clinical effectiveness 6. Costs and economic evaluation 7. Ethical analysis 8. Organizational aspects 9. Social aspects 10. Legal aspects 17

18 Process Two authors per chapter Chapter authors can not write appraisals for their own publications Texts prepared by non-english speakers are checked by an English speaker We try to avoid duplication of work and reinventing the wheel 18

19 Identification of studies Use existing evidence-based and personal resources Run chapter specific search strategies in selected relevant databases Cochrane Handbook s Searching for studies chapters HTA Core Model handbooks Search in the Cochrane Methodology Register Our own reference databases Cinahl Embase Lisa Lista Medline / PubMed Web of Knowledge Hand-searching relevant journals Set up alerts for prospective identification of evidence 19

20 Selection criteria Inclusion criteria Exclusion criteria Duplicate publications, previous publications associated with the same study or project, and letters or comments to the editor will be linked to the related publication. 2. Individual studies or reviews presented and assessed in other evidence-based collections (such as the InterTASC Information Specialists' Sub-Group ISSG Search Filter Resource), will not be included. A link or a citation to the resource rather than the individual studies will then be provided The research question is relevant to information retrieval for HTA and the SuRe Info chapter in which it is to be included. The publication provides latest evidence on a specific methodological issue. The publication includes research findings of a completed scientific study (including reviews, evidence syntheses and theses). The publication describes the scientific methods used in the study. The research findings are still valid, i.e. have not been overtaken by technological or database changes. The conclusions are supported by the presented results and the results answer the research question. The results of the publication are generalizable or usable to other HTA information specialists or transferable to other projects or studies. 20

31 SuRe Info can be used... To keep up-to-date with information retrieval research To provide an overview of current evidence to those new to the field of information retrieval for systematic reviews and health technology assessments To find current evidence when updating search guidance of methods handbooks 31
